Filter values for Superia 1600

[Steffen Alexander]

Yesterday i started to determine the filter values for superia 1600 and Fuji CA.
For e.g. Pro 400H the filter values are Y25 and M45. I did start from these values
and added both Y and M in steps of 5, due to the heavy red tint.

I gave up at Y65 and M80 and still have a ( now lesser) red tint. I suppose i will end with about Y100 and M120 wich seems quite odd to me. All conditions like chemistry, light sources seemed to be fine, because I made a print from 400H immediately before.
Can anyone tell me his the filter values of Superia 1600 compared to 400H or 160S?

Thanks a lot
Steffen

Hi Steffan,

I can't help with 1600 but I've printed a lot of Superia 800 and Pro 400H. These are my filtrations using an LPL C7700 on Kodak Endura:

Superia 800 - M70/Y60
Pro 400H - M75/Y75 (same as 800Z).

Hope that's some help.

Thank for your reply even though it doesn't really help. Your values for the different films are quite close.

Are the filter values for all the superia films the same? Perhaps someone here knows the answer.

My filtration for Reala is M95/Y70.

Sorry I can't offer any real help.

Finally had the time to determine the right values. To whom it may interest:
Y=M= 112,5 for a Kienzle C67 CVC.

Use what looks good.
The filtration will vary between papers and even from different emulsion batches of the same paper.

Not to mention quite a few other variables.
