Kodak Graphic Arts Film Question

[pdccamerqs]

Hi all,

I stumbled across this unopened box of Kodak Graphic Arts PMT receiver film AD.
I thought it might be fun to try it in the 8x10 camera as a direct positive material.

I have 2 questions:

1. Besides looking for the dull side, are there any edge notches to indicate the emulsion side on this kind of film?

2. From what I understand, it's orthochromatic and quite contrasty. I intend to try shooting it at around ISO 3 and then tray developing in Dektol 1:3 for 1.5 min in a tray - unless someone has a better idea?

Thanks in advance!

Paul

You can't use it the way you think.

I believe this is diffusion-transfer material and it would be processed in contact with a PMT paper negative in a processor that uses pressure rollers and a dedicated developer. https://printwiki.org/Diffusion_Transfer

Right. It's not photo-sensitive.

Ive got several boxes of the pmt paper,works great on ink printer. The magic chemical is sodium hydroxide if i remember right. Expose the film under enlarger, NO SAFELIGHT. Put the film in the machine containing liquid for a minute or so, insert paper and turn crank. Polaroid style, it rolls the two peices together. Wait a minute or so, then peel apart.

Ahhhhh- thanks all for the enlightening responses! I don't think there is much I can do with the material.

Best,

Paul

I remember using in on a graphic design course years gone by. It was used for pure black and white graphics and type. We mostly used it to make artwork for business cards.
