That's sad!
I remember the first Cibachrome I had made. It had been renamed Ilfochrome a
few years hence by then, but people in the know switched terms every other

The first thing I thought was that the 50x70 cm print
I miss the thrill of seeing a cibachrome print, but it was a very taxing
project in a home darkroom. On a simple enlarger, one had to guess at an
initial filter pack. Then processing the print required 30 minutes of rolling
the drum back and forth by hand. Then came an analysis of the color,
