Fuji Super RX-N (X-Ray film)

[bvy]

I'm trying to find some information on this film -- it's Fuji Super RX-N. This is X-Ray film, and I've acquired the better part of a 100 sheet box. This will be good for experimenting with my new/old 8x10 camera. But I'm having trouble finding information on this film -- at least as it relates to photography. I see that there's also Super RX and Super RX-U -- I think the latter is described as "half speed" while what I have is "full speed," but I'm still not sure where to rate it.

Also, I'm getting mixed information as to whether this film is blue sensitive or orthochromatic.

The same as to whether it's one- or two-sided (emulsion).

And then I'll need to develop it. I can do 8x10 in trays or drums, and I have D-76, Dektol, Centrobrom and Ilford PQ on hand. HC-110 will be on its way soon.

Obviously the thing to do is to start experimenting - -I'm just trying to educate myself as much as possible before ripping into it.

Thanks.

A simple search returns plenty of links like the one you posted. Is there a PDF or something in there that I'm missing? It answers none of my questions.

This particular film is advertised to be blue-sensitive, though I've read at least one report from a user who suggested that it has orthochromatic sensitivity. Some of the very few examples I've seen back that up, but it's hard to know about people's workflows -- especially off of APUG where digital manipulation often enters equation. More than anything, I'm interested in (analog) users' experiences with this or a similar film.

No disagreement about the testing. Again, I'm just trying to arm myself with as much information as possible up front. As far as development, if this stuff is as high contrast as it claims to be, I think I'm going to start with the Centrabrom, as I've had good luck with it and litho film (also, by design, high contrast).

If the film is two-sided, there will not be a notch showing emulsion side. You just have to be careful in handling the stuff as the emulsion is very soft.
