I have also enlarged these negatives in the darkroom with mixed results (after a few "test" papers). I had to use a high contrast filter (#4) to get more contrast. I also had to use an aperture of at least 5.6 (50mm) on a Beseler 23CII enlarger. More problems arose when I tried to print contact sheets. Ugg! If you plan to do darkroom work with this film, I recommend true B&W film. Printing your own BW400CN can be done, but it's just more a hassle, IMO.
I just realized that I did not answer your question. Sorry about that. I should not have stayed out celebrating my birthday last night. Uggg. /need more coffee! Anyone else try to print BW400CN in a darkroom? coffee maker, away! ~Alejandro > I found that if i had my proofs printed on colour paper,they came > out with a "sepia" look to them.Sometimes it would work and i would > have it enlarged like that. > > It is supposed to scan well,but i have tried a few in the darkroom, > but cannot get a lot of contrast in the prints.More of a grey and white. > > Hope that helps > > Dave > > > How well does the Kodak "color negative" B&W > film BW400CN work ? > > > > Does a calibrated minilab produce good neutral greys on color > > paper when this film is printed ?
