Clay, I did some test with it some time back. It is available in 20x24
so it held an interest for me. After achieving good results with the
8x10 samples I went ahead and order some 20x24. I got a bit busy with
several projects and a 1/2 year went by before I had a chance to get
back to it.
It either had or developed banding, stripes, within the film. I wrote
it off as a problem with the paper interleaving. The marks on the film
corresponded directly to the paper base. It choose not to use it again.
However, I also did try the Bergger film and it also has banding or
stripes in it too. (BPF 18) Several batches were fine, but several were
no good. Time making negatives needs to be a productive predictable
affair. I may need to start that path of testing the ol' Epson 7000 and
enlarged digital printing negs. : )

Subject: Genius??
List:
I just received the latest Freestyle catalog, and on page 39 is a blurb
commanding: ' Attention platinum and palladium printers! Genius Film is
the perfect replacement for Agfa's Gevatone N-31P' yada, yada, yada.
At $10 per 16x20 sheet, it's not exactly cheap. Anybody out there used
this stuff yet?
Is this film really smarter than regular continuous tone copy film?
Or more to the point, is it smarter than photoshop, scanner and the
Burkholder book?
Inquiring minds....
