Color reversal paper

[afriman]

There's some old Unichrome paper for sale on ebay. I wonder if it's still any good and how on could try processing it. Reversal RA-4, as discussed elsewhere? Or would somebody (PE?) know how to mix R1000 chemicals?

Sorry, I just realised that I posted this in the wrong place. Should have gone to the colour forum.

I've checked recently some sealed R-3 paper from ebay (exp. about 1997-2005) - unfortunately, It's all dead. It has heavy pink fog and one box - a lot of fungus. Angifog agents do not help. Perhaps, if you will find deeply frozen paper, then you will get a chance, but I think it will be unlikely.

R-3 recipe can be prepared by msds, it doesn't matter that you cannot exactly know the proportions - it can be fixed by filtering.

For experiments you can start with RA-4 process and negatives.

I think, you will get more significantly more chances with old Ilfochrome - it will be disbalanced, but there will be no color fog at all.
