Ansco super pan press film?

[cabledog]

So I bought a graphic film pack adaptor for my crown graphic to use for wet plate and it came with a film pack in it. I have 3 tabs left. I assumed this was like peel apart instant film but appears that there may be exposed frames inside? My question is how do I remove the film and how to develop using Xtol stock.

AFAIK Ansco never made a polaroid film such as you describe. Therefore the film was designed to be developed conventionally.

Yeah I just never grew up with peel apart so I've never seen it in real life. Where can I find out development times for this film though?

There were film packs pre-Polaroid. Film sheets had attached a strip of paper. By pulling that the sheet was transferred from behind the gate of the sheet holder around a roller to a second compartment within that holder, to the rear of the stack of still unexposed sheets.

All the negatives the original owner took on that film pack are probably still inside it. To open the film pack, in your changing bag slide off the part that shows to the right in your first picture. Then it will pretty well spring apart. Peel each negative from the paper tape to the paper sheets. Now, you need to put them in something to process. Best thing by far is the Nikor sheet film tank, adjusted to the correct size for these negatives. If you don't have then, you can "taco" them in plastic tubes put into a Nikor tank. Barring that, you're going to have to process them in a tray in complete darkness. Try HC-110 Dilution B about 7 minutes.
