David, you are correct. Commercial recording films are to be used in machine
exposure units such as Hell imagesetters to make line and halftone films for
the commercial litho industry.
I've never played with recording films to try to mimic con-tone film.
Perhaps trying Kodak Technidol developer would yield something usable?
Good luck, Craig Z.
