The thinking is print papers are WAY more forgiving then Type R or Ilfochrome papers.. So users can shoot indoors and have the photo printer correct for the warm indoor tungsten light.. Let me tell you, never trust a one hour printer who tells you that they can print your indoor pictures w/o a funny hue.. I used to work in 1 hour labs and you are never guaranteed to get more then adequate results with trying to correct.. Its kind of like trying to print b/w negs on color paper... some of them look good, the low contrast ones look green and the high contrast ones look sepia.. I suspect that since most people who aren't pros shoot their color print film over a number of days wouldn't like tungsten balanced print film.. could you imagine the pictures from the pool? :) Everything Blue! They would run to their lab and complain.. (heh.. been there, done that.. no thank you! (some lady shot Ektachrome 64t thinking the t mean true color.. all outdoors at a family reunion.. it wasn't pretty) They would get 1/2 a roll that looked good and the rest would suck.,. (more than they normally would) I think a lot of people shoot NPS/NPH and the kodak Ektapress films to get closer to the proper color temp in wierd lighting conditions.. For me, Im sticking with Delta 400 and XTol.. :) - -Mark On Tue, 8 Jan 2002, Gerhard Paulman wrote: > Hey Mark, > > Thanks for confirming that I'm not totally nuts.
