About the film
Fujicolor Positive F-CP 3519 was a colour print film for release prints from Fujicolor negatives, made by Fujifilm, then Fuji Photo Film, and coded 3519 in 35 mm, 3619 in 16 mm and 3719 in 70 mm.
Fujifilm's Japanese line-up page of August 1997 listed F-CP on polyester as 3518, with no 3519, so 3519 took its place some time before January 2001, when the same page first listed it. Its Japanese data sheet, archived in July 2001, describes a polyester-base film processed in ECP-2B. The sheet gives set-ups for Bell & Howell Model C additive printers and an aim of Status A densities of 1.15 red, 1.05 green and 1.05 blue for an 18 per cent grey patch under xenon projection. Only its spectral sensitivity and spectral dye density charts survive in the archived copy; its characteristic-curve and sharpness charts were not archived. By June 2004 the line-up page gave the F-CP code as 3510, the SUPER F-CP film that followed it. Fujifilm ended all its motion-picture film production on 31 March 2013.

The look
Fujicolor Positive F-CP 3519 was Fujifilm's colour release-print film of the early 2000s, on polyester base and processed in ECP-2B. Ashigrain reconstructs it: its sensitivity and dyes are traced from Fujifilm's archived data sheet, but its characteristic curves are borrowed from F-CP 3510, because the 3519 chart was never archived.

Science & sources
A colour print film, shown after Fujifilm Eterna Vivid 500. Its spectral sensitivity and dye densities are traced from Fujifilm's archived Japanese data sheet; its characteristic curves are borrowed from Fujicolor Positive F-CP 3510, a proxy, because the 3519 chart was never archived.
Response curves and the evidence behind the model
Compare manufacturer data with Ashigrain’s response on the same axes. These curves show how the model is calibrated to its sources; they do not establish a match to photographed film.
Characteristic response
Model limits
These images show the film model in use. Spectral response, lighting and viewing conditions include approximations. Halation, bloom, grain size, weave and flicker are not fully measured for each film. The look of real film also depends on development and print timing.
- The characteristic curves are borrowed unchanged from Fujicolor Positive F-CP 3510, a proxy rather than this film's data: the 3519 chart was never archived. The sheet states the same exposure and Status A conditions as 3510's chart.
- The published aim for 3519 (Status A red 1.15) and its red printer setting differ from 3510's (red 1.10), so its red balance likely differed slightly from the proxy.
- The characteristic curves use a relative exposure axis: the sheet prints only a 0.5 log H scale bar, and the green and blue curves are printed shifted by 1.0 log H. Their absolute exposure is not specified.
- The sensitivity and dye curves are traced from low-resolution archived images, one pass each, so no digitisation error is measured. The red sensitivity's short-wavelength and main lobes are traced separately, with no data between them.
- No CTF or RMS granularity survives in the archived sheet.
- The source gives printer settings but no lamp or filter spectra. Their spectral response is approximated.
- The available sources do not measure veiling flare during projection. The model approximates its contribution to lifted blacks on screen, so the result is not a measured projection contrast.
Reciprocity: not modelled. Exposure time has no effect on this film.
Film guide: assumptions and practical choices
This preview combines the print film with the named camera negative. In this comparison, the print has no separate exposure index or measured grain response.
