Exposure and development
If you are accustomed to Kodak HIE film, expose and develop this 120/220 film just as you normally would. Just as with
Kodak HIE this film lacks an anti-halation backing layer that results in the familiar glowing highlights. This film will produce the
same excellent results, with the added benefits of having a much larger negative.

Also, here are a few tips that you may find useful
• For a stronger IR effect, use a Kodak Wratten filter 89B, 87 or 87C instead of a 25 or 29. These black opaque filters will
provide a stronger infrared look to your images with enhanced contrast and glowing highlights. The red filters allow for more
film speed, less contrast and dramatic effect. Wedding and portrait photographers often prefer red filters to black.
• When using one of the black opaque filters, if possible, attach the filter to the front of the camera back itself. This is
equivalent to putting it between the film rails on a 35mm camera. The advantage to this is that it will allow for focusing and
composition through the viewfinder as normal and also keeps the filter clean.
• Experiment with your flash. Electronic flash tubes emit more energy in the infrared region than any other, making it perfectly
suited for IR photography. It should only require one roll of film to determine the best flash setting for your typical scene.
Expect a little less contrast when using a flash. Also keep in mind that according to Kodak there is some reciprocity failure at
exposures of 1/1000 sec (and shorter). Common electronic flash pulses last for only a very short period of time (1/500-1/10,
0000 sec).
Guarantee and limit of Liability I am a photographer myself and have looked forward to using this film for a long time. It
has taken me nearly a year to develop and build the cutting and rolling machines. I have made every effort to ensure that the
film I sell is free of defects, whether they be Kodak’s fault or my own. My procedures of cutting and rolling are done
meticulously to prevent dust marks, scratching, fogging and light leaks. However, I do not offer any guarantee regarding this.
This film is not being marketed or sold as a Kodak product
Purchasing film from me constitutes an AGREEMENT by you to waive any claims for any damages or loss by myself or
