I have a few black and white shorts that are printed on color film stock. All are Derann prints. In general the prints are excellent, although an exact black and white must be very hard to achieve this way. Because of the better resolution of the color film stock, print definition, contrast, and black level are really excellent on all of them. Last night I screened a short B/W film about Pinewood Studios Full Screen Ahead and I noticed a magenta tint to some parts of the film that I had not seen before. This was by no means objectionable, and was only noticeable in a few shots, mainly the opening scenes of the film, but it was a definite change from what I remember when last viewing it. So presumably these black and white prints on color stock will gradually fade to pink, just like regular color prints do.
