Has anybody ever heard of ilford ilfoline in.5 89cj000, and if so can you supply any information on it. Paper grade etc. Any help would really be appreciated.
 
Ilfoline was a high contrast sheet film, Here is some very old data from a 1970's document for Ilfoline PL4.
Thanks to my colleague Sue, for finding this.

If developed in a standard developer like D-76 you can get continuous tone negatives, terrible negatives but some people used to do this.

Litho film was huge until the digital revolution. I have a friend who still has a 16x20 inch (baby) process camera. 12 feet long.

Gotta love Ilford, actual technical service support!
 
I have some 16x12 and I can't remember if it's 8x 10 or 10x12. Can't imagine if I will ever find a use for it. But open to suggestions. Lol.
 
I just found a very old box in our darkroom here at the school. Ilfoline IN.5 16x20. Planning to see if it's still useable for pinhole work... Someone had written, open in dark, but according to Ilford's post above, a light red no. 915 safelight can be used...

 
Based on product name, that's probably a litho film, similar in end result (i.e. extremely high contrast) to Kodalith or modern ortho litho products. If so, you may or may not be able to control contrast by using a conventional developer -- but at least you'll be able to develop by inspection.
 

Yes, I'll probably use LC-1B...
