Arista Ortho Litho 3.0 Overview

Ortho Litho 3.0 from Arista is a line and halftone camera film designed for pre-press applications. As a high-contrast film, it is characterized by a very steep gradation and gradation tone, along with a wide density range with high Dmax and low Dmin values for enhanced UV transmission. For halftone, high-contrast applications, rapid access processing in ACD chemistry, such as Majestic 650, is recommended; for continuous tone use, diluted B&W paper developers are recommended for lower contrast results.

For easy handling of the film, the emulsion incorporates a dedicated layer to prevent Newton rings, as well as separate anti-static and anti-stress layers to protect against dust, scratches, and other damage. Additionally, it can be handled and processed under a red safe light.

This item is one box of 100 sheets of 4 x 5" film; this film is not designed for use in conventional 4 x 5" film holders.

Why is Artista Orth Litho 3.0 not designed to use ...

Why is Artista Orth Litho 3.0 not designed to use in conventional film holders; is it a print film or negative film? Please illuminate for me. Thanks.
Asked by: Paul
Actually Arista 4x5 Lith film is too large to fit in 4x5 film holders, yes I know that sounds oxymoronic. This film is meant for line cameras and so they don't use traditional film holders. Bottom line, the film would have to be trimmed a bit.

Does this film have notches?
Asked by: rodko
The Arista Ortho Litho 3.0 Film (4 x 5", 50 Sheets) is not a notched film; however, it can be handled under a red safelight so you can see the film before loading it. The lighter side would be the emulsion side.

So I can’t load it to 4x5 sheet film holder then how do I use it ?
Asked by: Mars
The Arista Ortho Litho 3.0 Film is a type of high contrast production film. If one would trim the film down, it would be possible to fit it into a 4x5 holder. Paying attention to what side the emulsion is, can definitely be a challenge. This type of film would be used for contact reproduction rather than regular photography.
