Theoreticaly you can still do D-T prints if you are able to find a B&W film with unprotected gelatin coat (unhardened). Then you can develop it in one of the pyrogarol formulas you know (mybe PMK will do OK), since any curtient developer will do it. (I apologize for my english; it isnt my first language). This way you can get the matrixes. Once you got them, it is still possible to ink them with the kodak ektachrome retouching set (buffer, cyan, magenta and yellow), because they are basically the same as D-T colors use to be. Yo can tray with radiographic film. This is the idea that came to me when I find out that Kodak will not do any more the D-T materials, but I never tried it because the kodak reazons conveinced me (Photoshop is able to do many more things than ever dreamed with D-T in a small part of the time) The problem is the beauty of the PRINT, but that is another story. We, professionals think more about practicality than pure art.

<Hi all!

<Needless to say, I have not been able to even remotely approximate an

<So I thought I may have to try an alternative process, but I have only done

<anyone on the list help me?
