Has Anybody Shot Cibachrome?

[largeformat pat]

Has anybody here shot Cibachrome? I know it will be reversed. Just give people mirrors to read the signs. I was more curious about its speed for daylight exposures. Also I guess you would have to filter for daylight as well. Any information?

It won't be reversed if you shoot the transparent stuff! (not that I've done it, I can't even find the paper or chemicals for sale here)

Have seen some really interesting unique Cibachromes at the V&A in London. Perhaps do a search on these two artists.

Richard Learoyd's prints are 50x70 inches. Very beautiful to look at. Here's some more info;

Greg;

Ciba/Ilfochrome is more daylight balanced than tungsten balanced. That is why you usually use cyan filters in the enlarger pack. So, it is wise to be careful and shoot first with no filtration to see where you want to go.

Cibachrome

I have 4 cibachrome booklets that I will give to any one for the price of postage. They are Cibachrome II technical information, Cibachrome-A II instruction manual, Cibachrome mounting and laminating technical info, and Retouching Cibachrome materials. I also have some Cibachrome paper, 8x10 & 11x14, but they are outdated by about 20 years. They are also available for the price of postage.

Time Freeze, I would be very grateful for some cibachrome paper. I've been meaning to experiment for some time now. Let me know if you would really be willing to send it for postage! Thank you.

Works fine , just a lot of testing required to get a good balance.

Ilfochrome has a sensitivity gap around 600nm.
