so I got my hands on this one, I'm assuming that Kodak Ektacolor RC is for negative color print but older than Kodak Supra. Now about Kodak Ektachrome Rc and 2203 paper, this is to print from slides right? with this I got couple of Beseler 2 step color print chemicals, they look old.

What are the chances that this could actually work! I don't know if the chems are still good or not, but I'll try. Any consideration that I could keep in mind?

Ektachrome paper did not keep well. The type "C" paper kept a lot better, but what I have now is pretty much shot. The type "C" paper uses the Ektaprint 3 process.

The two type "R" papers might need different processes. I cannot remember when the cutoff Type # was between the products.

I remember reading about Type 1993 in Pop Photo but by the time I used it I was using 2203. It worked pretty well but I too would be very surprised if it was worth a damn now even if you could get (or, more likely, get formulas for and mix yourself) the right chemicals.

Well let us know how that works out. I'd be amazed if it worked, but you've nothing to lose by trying except a bit of time.

Well, basically, the developer is a Dektol type with Thiocyanate in it, and the CD is an Ektaprint 3 with a fogging agent.

BTW, I have a lot of Type "R" chemistry in sealed cans, never opened or tested of course- sealed! I would say free for postage, but the last two times I did that, they didnt even pay the postage and refused to acknowledge my PMs. So, it stays here unless someone is near enough to pick it up.
