Historic Kodak poducts
I came across this website when looking for something else. It brings back some memories and shows what used to be available:-

There's a few date issues, like Pan-X, Super-XX, and Tri-X which were all introduced around 1939/40, they are in my 1940 Kodak Ltd, Professional Catalogue, they were made US, UK and the Kodak Ltd (UK) plant in Hungary.

What a fascinating website - brings back many memories.
Found many years ago, I have a Kodak paper dryer - the type with a canvas apron which is stretched over the paper. I soon discovered why it had been thrown out - it got far too hot*. So I inserted a dimmer in its supply, and it then worked OK. *I wonder if it was designed for the US market?, or had been "repaired" with a US style element.

Many decades ago I squeegeed prints to clean window glass, and waited, and eventually I had really beautiful glazed prints - better than from the glazing sheet supplied with my small dryer. My successful glazed prints were made when I had really soft water, I'm now in a hard water area. Does that matter?

When I worked in London our lab had a Kodak rotary drum and that gave good glazed prints, but every so often one or more would stick to the drum. To get them off we had to switch the heater off and let it cool before soaking the stuck print with water. Needless to say everything must be almost clinically clean. Any blemish on the surface will show up like a bad outbreak of acne! The best surface to glaze prints on is the glass used in the manufacturer of mirrors, or 6mm float glass then as you said, left to dry. |
