Maskless negative film in C41 to create slides

Sorry for my English.
I have said that this film (Agfa CP1) are no longer manufactured and Agfa was reorganized ???
Agfa produce sound negative for cine?
If all the positive color could develop smoothly on the ECP.
Agfa said that if can develop a positive color (their) on a developer color negative ECN-2.
I do not understand why you do not want to try other brands color positive, relatively fresh in ECN-2 process.
Basically only Kodak produce positive color, and Fuji was stopped a few years ago the positive color.
In my opinion it could go.
Several years of seniority to a positive is not a big deal.
If you pass level for decades is certainly unpredictable outcome.

No worries, actually I'm trying to get a new and fresh roll of ECP Kodak print stock, best would be the one without remjet which would be easier for me to use. Then I want to contact-print already developed ECN-2 negatives onto the fresh ECP stock and I will try to use different chemicals for this to see if any of them could work.

You view the Sensitometric graphs , looks pretty good.

If you do not like the image, can start the change of the process.

Exactly, I will try it that way. I hope I will get the ECP film soon (am in discussion with a supplier at the moment), maybe I get it next week.
As soon as I have the film I will start the experimentation and post my results.

Thank you for sharing the document, George!

That is one option I already considered (see earlier posts).
You can find Vericolor Slide film still on Ebay. However, what is offered there is expired between 1989 and 1991.
I wonder, not knowing how it was stored, if that would be worth a try or if such an old film is anyways fogged and color shifts would happen.

That film has rather poor keeping. I would not trust it. It goes bad rapidly if not kept cold and after its expiration date.

Ah, good to know, thank you!
So a 1991 film from Ebay will definately not be worth any money.

You want to buy more quantity of positive color film?
If you want only 30-40 - 50 m of positive color I believe that any laboratory who sees you interested for photo you give free.
Small pieces of film come also from film processing laboratories.

That would be really great of course. One lab today told me they "can for sure SELL some ECP to me" and they asked how much I needed, but now I'm waiting for some further reply, let's see what will happen.

The only manufacturers of cine colour print film are Agfa and Kodak.
