In that case you may want to check, because I'm pretty sure that XP2 developed in C-S becomes a 'normal' silver emulsion. You only get the dye clouds with C41 processing. I can't remember the...

Does anyone know what's happened to this paper? The only stock I can find is some 10 x 8 which Retro has. Has it been discontinued by Ilford? I sincerely hope not! :(
