I've also got a couple questions about printing but with working with B&W
material. I've got some Super 8 Plus-X that was hand processed in D-76
to negative that I am interested in blowing up to 16mm. There are some optical
effects that I want to do with it (freeze frames and step printing). I've got
some 7363 on hand to work with. I'm wondering whether it would be better to do a
straight blow up to a stock like 7302 (or other stock) and then print from that
onto the 7363 to create the effects and an internegative or to do it the other
way around, & blow up to 7363 and then print to 7302?
I intend to do some tests with the 7363 but would appreciate any advice on S8
blowups. My printing experience is limited and only with available camera
stocks, I don't have experience with print stocks. I would also be interested to
hear from anyone who has used a colour print stock to create tinted prints.
Many thanks.
JW

Subject: [Frameworks] optical printing questions
Hello all,
I would like to make optical prints of color originals but before I begin I want
to make sure I don't make things more difficult than necessary. I have printed
to 7399 once upon a time but I know that stock is long gone so I can't quite
wrap my head around the workflow for color. Can anyone suggest optimal workflow
and color print stocks to use (if there are any)?
Briefly: I plan to shoot color neg and have work-prints made at a lab. Next I
want to optically re-print the lab produced work-prints with color filters but I
have no idea what stock I should use in the optical printer's camera. Oh, and I
plan to finish with sound on film and I'll be shooting all 16mm.
Any advice?
Thanks,
CH
