Hi Philippe! trust you are doing well
I have had the same problem with MACO Geniusfilm. As you say streaks in
areas of even tone. Some of the sheets were fine but the quality control
with this film is very poor. For the same reasons I will not use it again
either. I also think the base stock is of poor quality.
Currently exploring digital methods and possibly using the Bergger BFPO-18
for both inter-positives and negs. Sadly the old BFPO-10 has been
discontinued (a great lith film for negs).
