KODAK PROFESSIONAL TRI-X
320 and 400 Films
—NOTICE—
To reflect our enduring commitment to black-and-white
photography, black-and-white film production will take place in an
even more advanced film-coating facility. New technology applied
to these superior, time-tested emulsions will result in slightly
different processing times for the film family. But the same great
films—those you've known and trusted for years—will still deliver
the same breathtaking results.
Use the packaging examples below to determine which film you
have, then refer to the corresponding publication for development
times.

KODAK PROFESSIONAL TRI-X 320 and 400 Films are
high-speed panchromatic films that are a good choice for
photographing dimly lighted subjects or fast action, for
photographing subjects that require good depth of field
and fast shutter speeds, and for extending the distance
range for flash pictures. TRI-X 400 Film (400TX) is
available in120 and 135 sizes and 35 and 70 mm long rolls.
You can retouch the 120-size film on the emulsion side.
TRI-X 400 Film is recommended for push-processing
applications.
TRI-X 320 Films (320TXP) feature excellent tone
gradation and brilliant highlights. They are especially well
suited to low-flare interior lighting or flash illumination.
They are also useful for portraiture with low-contrast
backlighting outdoors.
One TRI-X 320 Film (320TXP) is available in 120 and
220 sizes on a 3.9-mil acetate base, the other is available
in sheets on a 7-mil ESTAR Thick Base. You can retouch
these films on the emulsion or base side.
