Printing Portra 800 on Fuji CA

[Steffen Alexander]

I just finished my last roll of Fuji 800Z i'm used to print on Fuji Crystal Archive. So i need to order some Portra 800 for my Pentax 645. How does this film print on Fuji CA? Any experiences?

Are you asking about optical/darkroom printing?

I've never shot this particular speed of Portra, but all the Portra films I have used print quite easily on CA.

All color negative films will print very well optically. The differences between brands are very minor. Of course, saturated products like Ektar look saturated, etc. But the starting filtrations are very close. The only exception I have seen is Fuji Reala which seems to print clearly more green than other films with the same base filtration.

Yes. Is there any other way to make prints?

Thank you all for your replies. I've just ordered some Portra 800.

The only distinction I can find between general purpose Crystal Archive "Super C" and the new stuff
which is digitally optimizes (CAII) is that the digital paper is slightly more green sensitive, green being
the weaker light in laser printing systems. There are some other qualitative issues (minor improvements); but I think I only had to readjust my parameters about 5cc of magenta.
