Positive print paper

[Joel_L]

Hi,

After a long, long break form having a full darkroom, I am building another one. I like doing B&W as well as color. Way back, my favorite color process was Kodak Radiance paper and R3000, when that went away I went to Ilfochrome. Is there any current process for doing color prints direct from slides?

In a word, no. Those days of a reversal color darkroom print from a slide are over, and have been for years.
On the bright side, color negative films have improved markedly from the old days and the matching RA4 paper is fantastic and easy to work with.

You can process RA4 reversal. Results vary from poor to acceptable depending upon subject. There are some modifications to the black and white developer to improve things.

Interesting, I found some old articles on this that had some decent results.
