Information

PROOF PRINTS

Proof prints on colour paper are usually supplied by the processing lab with the negatives. These are ideal for

deciding which negatives to print on black and white paper. Proof prints made from XP2 SUPER negatives on

colour paper can either be close-to-neutral black and white prints, or colour toned monochrome prints. For

easy printing on colour paper, it is advisable to expose the whole film at the same meter setting, although if

necessary selected frames on a single film can be up or down-rated to suit individual needs.

Labs already set up to produce proof prints from XP2 negatives do not need to make any changes. The

dedicated printer set-up negatives and sample prints, available from ILFORD, can be used by labs for XP2

SUPER. These make it easy for labs to obtain proof prints on colour paper from XP2

SUPER negatives.

STORAGE

Unexposed Film

Store unexposed film in the same way as colour film, ie in a cool (10–20°C/50–68°F), dry place in its original

packaging.

Exposed film

As with any film, once exposed, process XP2 SUPER as soon as practical. Images on exposed but unprocessed

film will not degrade during normal working periods, ie, up to a month, when stored in a cool (10–20°C/50–

68°F), dry place.

Negatives

Store processed negatives in a cool (10–20°C/50–68°F), dry place, in the dark. Suitable negative storage

sleeves include those made of cellulose triacetate, Mylar, paper

(pH6

5–7

5) or inert polyester.
