KODAK TXP - Ei :10~320 iso
NORMAL dr5 ISO: 125
Kodak's pro version of Tri-X- TXP has dynamic CONTROL.
NOTE: The Tri-x line of films TXP, TX are completely different emulsions in their respective formats.
NOTE ON OLD TXP: Those of you that have the old emulsion TXP in stock please be aware that this film is ageing rapidly. We have noted that both older TRI-X films are becoming difficult to run in DEVELOPER-1 NEUTRAL. There is an increasing yellow stain in these films. If you are using old TRI-X it is best you run the film in DEV-2-SEPIA. As always we recommend you use fresh film.
TXP is a variable & dynamic B&W film as a positive-chrome. TXP's range is exceptional in dr5 and is capable of being pushed or pulled without image quality loss. TXP has an ever so slight warm/yellow cast in developer 1-neutral [most times it isn't noticeable]. In developer 2-sepia, it is a stunning sepia-brown. IF YOU LIKE CONTRAST this is the film you should be using.

NOTE: Be sure you use the freshest TXP available. TXP carries age related issues in dr5 but rarely affects the images quality.
TXP can be shot @10iso ~ 250iso & 320iso[max-push]. Your results may vary, but Each ISO change carries a different dynamic-range. This change is without loss of image quality. At low iso's, more detail is brought out in the blacks, the higher the iso, the higher the dynamic range & contrast. TXP does equally well in almost every lighting scenario. The dmax for TXP is one of the highest @ 4.2-40 on average. Normal iso is 100-125iso but the lower iso's make for easier scanning. TXP can posses an 11-12 stop range.
