So on forums I've seen people arguing that certain films are designed more for a digital workflow versus those that are designed for darkroom printing, like saying Ilford films are made for printing vs Kodak films for scanning etc. Is there any truth to this at all, or are people who don't know what they are talking about just saying crap? My assumption is the latter but I am still very new to this. If it is true, what b&w films (or even color) fit the wet printing workflow the best?
Edit: My main reason to ask if that I prefer printing in the darkroom versus a digital workflow and want to work with a film that gets its full potential in a silver gelatin print. The main films I have worked with before are TMAX 400 and FP4
Edit 2: I unfortunately don’t have source on hand since it’s mainly stuff I’ve gleaned from several disparate forum post that are typically the “how is delta 100” or “TMAX vs ilford” kinds of threads, and one comment on youtube claiming that ilford films are optimized for scanning but Kodak films are better for printing. Based on what y’all are saying my gut reaction that people making these statements are full of crap may be correct.
