TECHNICAL DATA / BLACK-AND-WHITE FILM
KODAK PROFESSIONAL BW400CN 
Film
KODAK PROFESSIONAL BW400CN Film is a 
multi-purpose 400-speed black-and-white chromogenic film 
designed for processing in color negative chemistry and 
printing on color negative paper.
BW400CN Film features the finest grain available today 
in a professional chromogenic film. The result is a smooth, 
neutral tone image with outstanding highlight and shadow 
detail.
This film is designed for portrait/wedding, commercial 
and advanced amateur photographers looking for the power 
of black-and-white imagery coupled with the convenience of 
using Process C-41 for film and Process RA-4 for color 
prints.
This film is intended for exposure with daylight, 
electronic flash, and artificial illumination. You can also 
obtain pleasing results under other light sources, i.e. 
illumination in stadiums, without using filters.
Use KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41 
and process this film simultaneously with color negative 
films. This film can be printed on KODAK 
PROFESSIONAL PORTRA ENDURA, SUPRA 
ENDURA, and ULTRA ENDURA Papers, as well as other 
color negative papers.
