HI-CON IR Film interest form

I am extremely excited to announce a new project, Hi-Con IR film! This film is a fresh IR-sensitive emulsion, capable of capturing light up to 850nm. Because it is normally used in imagesetting machines, it is very high contrast and low speed, and also has a very unique look due to its extreme insensitivity to green light.

At the moment I'm contacting a couple of places to see about getting some of the massive 13.3"x250' rolls of film slit and perfed for 135, as well as possibly getting some 70mm/ 120/220 slit.

No firm quotes yet, but ballpark price for 35mm will be $8 for a single roll and $75-100 for a bulk roll. Still contemplating whether or not to do 120 and LF since it's a lot more work. Both are possible but making them would depend on the demand.

this will be a rather limited release. My plan is to get 1 to 2 rolls converted into 35 mm, which will give me around 2-4000 feet of film. I am also able to hand roll 120/220 and cut sheets of film at my house, so there may also be a small amount of that released if enough people ask for that.

If there is enough interest in this film to get it made, it will be first-come, first-serve. The amount made of each format, and what formats are made, depends on the interest I receive.

Payment must be made in full before the order is placed. At this time I do not have a total cost for the project, but as I get more information regarding the cost of shipping, slitting, and perforating the film, I will make a price list.

The payment will be sent via PayPal Friends and Family due to the way PayPal handles Goods and Services payments, since the funds are held for 3 weeks since shipping information cannot be provided immediately with this type of order.

At this time I do not have a timeline for how long this project will take, although my goal is to have the film delivered by late summer 2026.
