At risk of repeating - I've been told that t400cn is to be discontinued
because labs can't get it right - in favor of Select Black & White which
has a heavier mask and is easier to print on colour paper. I got suspicious
when Kodak sent me a free roll of 'Select' - if printing your own, try
Ilford XP2 - almost no mask at all.
