8x10 X-Ray Film Experimentation

This film seems to handle itself extremely well. Not bad for $0.40 a sheet in 8x10. I cut the corner with scissors to notch it.

Oh, and after finding out that I can't stand dip & Dunk in my tiny darkroom, I developed this in a Beseler print drum with no issues clearing both sides. However, it works best in drums with no pre-soak.

Very sharp where you want it to be. Why notch code it?. My stash of xray stuff seems to be equally coated on both sides. Have you gone of the effort of stripping the emulsion off of one side?

If I decide to print it, it will at least give me a clue as to it's "Correct" orientation. Also, I'll know which side is the sharper one.

I can agree with the front side sharper part of notch coding, but why tie yourself down as to the 'correct' orientation.Some of my best abstracts are inverted of upside down close up fragments of a much larger scene in the original negative.

It doesn't have to be limiting, nothing says I have to (or will) leave it in this orientation. But I think it's still a good reference to have, is it not? Although it's also possible that the "notch" is more of a force of habit than anything.
