BLUE SENSITIVE FILM STOCK [Film Technology]




BLUE SENSITIVE FILM STOCK 
[Film Technology] 

Most printing stock and duplicating stocks for use in the laboratories, however, are still manufactured to be blue sensitive only.  They have the advantage of being safe to handle under certain safe light conditions, and since they are use only for printing from a black and white film, there spectral sensitivity is unimportant to image formation.  See panchromatic also.  A yellow flower is too dark on blue sensitive film.  Many colours as darker than they should be.  A red flower pot appear too dark on blue sensitive film. Because monochrome print cost were always less than colour, the custom developed of using black and white work print for editing. As they are usually made on blue sensitive stock-(i.e. intensities to red) there is risk of any edge fogging going unnoticed until finally seen in the colour show print.
