how to develop ilfochrome?

Question

I need to know how to develop ilfochrome film. As well as print the images. what chemicals should I get? what is the process like? I need the break down of the whole thing, like the dummy version. I know how to develop traditional b&w film and silver gelatin prints. how different is it from that? What chemicals do I need to get. Will a normal color enlarger work for ilfochrome film?
Thank you!

Answer 1

Ilfochrome is a printing process, not film processing. It's used for getting positive prints from transparencies and was formerly known as Cibachrome.



A long, long time ago Ilford made a colour transparency film called Ilfochrome. Now discontinued. I think it was E-6 process.

Answer 2

I always find reading the manufactures information is a good starting point.



As the david f pointed out if you are using the ilfochrome product it is a reversal paper which is designed to 'print' from a transparency.



However like B/W printing you can start from a number of different sources and project an image on to the paper, and get interesting results.

Answer 3

Ilfochrome colour slide film (Discontinued in the late eighties or early nineties) was processed in Kodak Ektachrome E-6 chemicals, as the processing chemistry was similar to Kodak Ektachrome. The colour slide film, in my opinion was even superior to both Ektachrome and Fujichrome. If you can get a E-6 slide processing chemicals kit, you stll process old Ilfochrome colour slide films.
