Picking the right 110 film cartridges can feel like stepping into a quiet corner of photography and printing, where the format numbers match across wildly different uses. Vintage pocket cameras, mid-format black and white shooters, and modern ultrasound printers all share that “110” label, but the cartridges themselves couldn’t be more distinct. This roundup covers nine options across those worlds so you can match the right cartridge to your camera, your printer, or your clinic’s workflow.
The Picks In Brief

A Deeper Look At The Lineup
The SuppliesMAX film cartridge isn’t a photography product at all, even though it shares the “110” thread with everything else on this list. It’s an imaging film made for Panasonic Panafax machines including the KX-FD335 and the KX-FHD351 series, and it steps in for the original KX-FA93 cartridge. Small offices that still rely on a hard-copy fax for legal or medical records often run into supply gaps once OEM cartridges dry up, and this 2-pack is designed to bridge that gap.
Each roll is rated for roughly 200 pages of fax output, so the two-pack covers a decent stretch of moderate-volume use. The cartridge housing follows the KX-FA93 form factor, which means loading it into a compatible Panasonic unit feels familiar if you’ve handled the original. You’ll want to confirm your specific fax model against the compatibility list before ordering, since fitment is the single thing that matters most here.
Useful Highlights
- Direct replacement for the Panasonic KX-FA93 imaging film
- Compatible with popular KX-FHD and KX-FD fax models
- Two cartridges per pack extend the time between supply orders
- Rated for approximately 200 pages per cartridge
Things To Consider
- Only fits specific Panasonic Panafax models, not universal fax machines
- Fax volume needs vary widely, so a 2-pack may run short in busy offices

Consider Something Else When
If your imaging workflow is a Sony or Mitsubishi ultrasound printer, the Kagzimet Compatible UPP-110HG is a more relevant fit.
Stepping away from fax supplies and into actual photography, the Ilford Delta Pro 100 is a 120-format medium-speed black and white film built around core-shell crystal technology, which is a manufacturing method that packs the light-sensitive silver particles into layered grains. The result is exceptionally fine grain and high sharpness, the kind of clarity that survives large-format enlargements and contact prints from a medium-format negative.
At ISO 100, it rewards controlled lighting and tripod-assisted setups, where every photon counts. Landscape photographers and studio portrait shooters tend to gravitate toward this film because its tonal range holds up under meticulous scanning. For handheld street work in dim conditions, the slower speed may push you toward a faster film like the HP5 Plus covered later in this roundup.
The Helpful Details
- ISO 100 speed produces very fine grain and high sharpness
- Core-shell crystal structure supports crisp large enlargements
- Wide tonal range handles subtle highlight-to-shadow transitions
Points To Keep In Mind
- Slower ISO 100 speed means longer exposures or wider apertures in low light
- Demands careful metering, so beginners may struggle to nail exposure
- 120 format requires a compatible medium-format camera
Made For
Studio and landscape photographers shooting medium format who want the cleanest possible negative for big prints.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
For handheld or low-light 120 shooting where speed matters more than ultra-fine grain, the Ilford HP5 Plus is the smarter pick.
The FP4 Plus occupies a comfortable middle ground in Ilford’s lineup, sitting one step faster than the Delta Pro 100 above. At ISO 125, it offers slightly more flexibility for handheld shooting while still delivering the fine grain and high acutance (a measure of edge sharpness in the negative) that print photographers prize. It’s also compatible with all major black and white processing systems, including standard developers and more exotic stand-development recipes.
For shooters who want one roll of 120 film to handle varied subjects across a full day, FP4 Plus is a dependable all-rounder. Fine detail in architecture and texture work holds up well, and the medium speed forgives minor exposure mistakes during the learning curve.
Well-Handled Touches
- ISO 125 medium speed balances grain with exposure latitude
- Wide processing compatibility across standard and specialty developers
- Strong acutance produces clean edges in architectural and detail work
Trade Offs
- Grain is slightly more visible than the slower Delta Pro 100
- 120 format only, so it won’t fit 35mm SLR bodies
Feature Rundown
Whose Shelf It Belongs On
All-purpose medium-format shooters who want a versatile 120 film that handles detail work, portraits, and travel with equal grace.
Look Elsewhere When
If you’re chasing the cleanest grain possible for big enlargements, the Ilford Delta Pro 100 is worth the slower speed.
The Lobster Redscale is the first 110-format entry in this roundup, and it doesn’t try to behave like a normal film. Lomography loads the emulsion backwards, which forces light to pass through the film base before hitting the light-sensitive layers, producing a heavy red, orange, and yellow palette across every frame. It’s a deliberately analog special effect baked into the cartridge.
This is a niche pick for hobbyists and experimental shooters who already own a 110-format camera and want their pictures to look unmistakably warm and surreal. Daylight scenes gain an almost sunset-like glow, while indoor shots lean heavily into moody ambers. It won’t replace a neutral color film, but that’s not the point.
Points In Its Favor
- Built-in red-orange tonal shift eliminates post-processing
- Brings 110 cameras back into creative rotation
- Works well for golden-hour portraits and warm-toned landscapes
Honest Caveats
- Limited tonal range since the entire roll skews warm
- Requires a 110-format camera to shoot, which is a niche tool

Another Choice May Suit
If you want standard color photography in 110 format, the Lomography Color Tiger 110 Film is the more conventional option later in this list.
Switching back into the medical printing world, the Kagzimet UPP-110HG is a thermal print film made for Sony ultrasound machines. The “HG” stands for high gloss, and that glossy surface is what gives printed ultrasound frames their crisp, high-contrast appearance. Each roll is 110mm wide by 18 meters long, sized to fit Sony’s black and white printer series.
This 5-roll pack is positioned for clinics running moderate imaging volume, where one or two rolls a week is normal. Thermal printing doesn’t use ink or toner; the print head heats the paper surface to form the image, so storage conditions (cool, dry, dark) matter more than with ink-based prints.
Everyday Wins
- High-gloss finish produces sharp, clear ultrasound prints
- Thermal technology means no ink or toner replacement
- 5-roll pack supports a steady clinical workflow
Where It Is Less Suited
- Only fits Sony ultrasound printers in the UPP-110 series
- Glossy prints can show fingerprints if handled without gloves
Core Details
Who Should Grab It
Sony ultrasound-equipped clinics and imaging centers that print patient studies on thermal media several times a week.
Reach For A Different Pick When
For higher-volume departments that burn through rolls faster, the Kagzimet Compatible UPP-110S 10-roll pack may serve you better.
The Color Tiger is Lomography’s first 110-format color negative film, processed in standard C-41 chemistry (the same development process used by commercial color photo labs worldwide). At ISO 200, it leans toward everyday versatility rather than specialty looks, and the small 110 negative format keeps each frame feeling like a snapshot rather than a heavy composition.
This film shines when paired with a Lomography 110 camera, though it can run through other 110 bodies that accept standard cartridges. The ISO 200 speed gives you usable handheld shutter speeds in daylight, and a little flash help at night produces colorful, slightly grainy results that lean into the format’s toy-camera charm.
Practical Advantages
- Standard C-41 processing means any color lab can develop it
- ISO 200 supports handheld daylight and flash photography
- Pairs naturally with compact 110 pocket cameras
- Color negative film handles exposure variation gracefully
Small Caveats
- 110 negatives are small, so large prints look softer than 120 or 35mm
- Limited availability compared to mainstream 35mm color films
Right Fit For
Casual 110 shooters who want vivid color negatives developed at any standard photo lab without specialty chemistry.
Swap It Out When
For black and white 120 work at a similar ISO range, the Ilford FP4 Plus offers a much larger negative and more detail.
HP5 Plus is the high-speed workhorse of the Ilford 120 lineup, and the one to reach for when light gets scarce. At ISO 400, it handles handheld shooting indoors, overcast days, and street photography after dusk without forcing you to push the exposure. It also responds well to push processing, where developers expose the film for longer to effectively raise the ISO up to 3200, which is useful for concerts, dim interiors, and nighttime work.
The film comes from the United Kingdom and is built for medium-format cameras. It produces negatives with fine grain considering its speed, and the medium contrast makes it forgiving of metering errors. For documentary and photojournalism assignments where conditions change quickly, HP5 Plus is a reliable default.
Everyday Perks
- ISO 400 speed supports handheld shooting in low light
- Push-processable up to ISO 3200 for very dim environments
- Medium contrast forgives exposure mistakes
- 120 format produces large negatives with plenty of detail
Some Limits To Know
- Pushed film shows increased grain compared to box-speed development
- Faster ISO means slightly less detail than the slower Delta Pro 100
Feature Snapshot
Who It Suits Best
Medium-format shooters working in variable light, including documentary, event, and indoor portrait photography.
Where A Sibling Pick Shines
If your work happens mostly in bright daylight where fine grain matters more than speed, the Ilford Delta Pro 100 is a stronger choice.
Where the Kagzimet UPP-110HG above focuses on high-gloss clinical prints, this compatible UPP-110S offers a larger 10-roll supply aimed at busy imaging departments. Each roll measures 110mm wide by 20 meters long and yields approximately 270 prints, so the pack as a whole covers a substantial workload before reordering.
The media is built for minimal curling, which matters more than it sounds: curled paper can jam thermal printer heads or skew printed images. This is designed for medical recording equipment and ultrasound systems broadly, and the manufacturer specifies that it won’t damage printer hardware when used as directed.
Useful Touches
- 10-roll bulk pack reduces reorder frequency for busy clinics
- Minimal curling helps prevent printer jams and skewed prints
- Approximately 270 prints per roll supports high-volume workflows
A Few Limitations
- Standard (non-high-gloss) finish, less reflective than HG variants
- Bulk storage needs a cool, dry, dark space to preserve print quality
Best Suited To
High-volume ultrasound departments and hospitals that print patient studies daily and need a steady, jam-resistant media supply.
Not Your Match When
For small practices that print only a few rolls per month, the 5-roll Kagzimet Compatible UPP-110HG is a more manageable quantity.
The Mitsubishi Compatible UPP110-HG rounds out the roundup with the broadest printer compatibility in the medical section. It’s specified for a long list of Sony black and white video printers, including the UP880, UP890MD, UP895MD, UP897MD, and several UPD and UPX models, plus Mitsubishi units like the CP-700 series and the P-40U through P-90U printers. That’s a wide net for mixed-brand imaging rooms.
Each roll is 110mm by 18m with a high-gloss surface, identical in spec to the OEM Mitsubishi media it replaces. Five rolls ship factory-sealed in original retail packaging, which matters for clinics that need verifiable lot integrity for their records. For facilities that can’t standardize on a single printer brand, this compatibility range is a quiet advantage.
A Few Strong Suits
- High-gloss finish matches OEM Mitsubishi print quality
- Compatible with a wide range of Sony and Mitsubishi printers
- Factory-sealed packaging supports traceability and storage hygiene
Trade-Offs To Consider
- 5-roll pack size may run short in the busiest departments
- Printer model list should be confirmed against your specific unit before ordering
Right Fit For
Mixed-vendor imaging departments and larger clinics using several Sony or Mitsubishi printer models who want one media SKU across all units.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
For facilities that print heavily and prefer a 10-roll bulk pack, the Kagzimet Compatible UPP-110S may save on reorder trips.
Choosing The Right 110 Format For Your Needs
The phrase “110 film cartridge” hides a surprising amount of variety. The 110 prefix on a vintage Kodak Instamatic cartridge is nothing like the UPP-110 designation on a thermal medical printer, even though both share those three digits. Photography cartridges load into a camera’s film chamber, while UPP media feeds into a thermal printer. Treating them as interchangeable is the fastest way to order the wrong product, so the first decision is simply which world your workflow lives in.
Within photography, 120 roll film and 110 cartridges are both “medium-small” formats, but their cameras don’t overlap at all. 120 film winds onto a take-up spool inside a medium-format body like a Hasselblad or a Mamiya, while 110 cartridges slot into a much smaller dedicated camera. ISO speed matters next: slower films (ISO 100 to 125) reward careful setups, while faster films (ISO 400 and up) forgive handheld and low-light shooting.
For medical printing, the key spec is the exact printer model. Sony and Mitsubishi machines use different media designations, and the HG versus S distinction changes the print finish. Volume matters too: a single 5-roll pack suits a small clinic, while a 10-roll supply fits a hospital imaging department.
Matching Film Speed To Real Shooting Conditions
Slow films like the Delta Pro 100 produce the cleanest grain but demand bright light or a tripod. Medium-speed films like FP4 Plus split the difference, while HP5 Plus handles handheld work and dim interiors. Choosing too fast a film for sunny daylight wastes the speed headroom and adds grain; choosing too slow a film for indoor work forces long exposures and motion blur. For most general shooting, ISO 125 to ISO 400 covers the widest range of conditions.
Reading Thermal Media Specs Before You Order
UPP-110 rolls vary in width, length, and finish. HG (high gloss) prints look sharper and more reflective, while standard S rolls produce a softer, matte-style print that’s easier to handle with bare hands. Always confirm your printer model against the compatibility list, since a wrong cartridge can jam the print head or produce blank frames. Storage conditions (cool, dry, dark) preserve thermal media longer than leaving it in a warm supply closet.
What To Watch For Before You Order
Common Shopping Slip Ups
The biggest mistake in this category is assuming the number “110” means the same thing across product lines. A 110 photographic cartridge and a UPP-110 medical roll look unrelated to each other but share three digits, which makes listings easy to mix up. Another trap is buying thermal media without verifying your printer’s exact model number, since UP880, UP897MD, and CP-700U media aren’t interchangeable. Photography shoppers sometimes pick a 120 roll when their camera actually takes 35mm, or grab a 110 cartridge expecting it to fit a medium-format body. Slowing down to confirm format, speed, and printer compatibility before checkout saves the cost of a return.
What The Higher Tier Buys
In black and white film, the premium tier buys you tighter grain, finer sharpness, and more latitude (the film’s ability to record detail in both shadows and highlights despite imperfect exposure). Delta Pro 100’s core-shell crystal structure costs more than HP5 Plus, but the extra sharpness is real for large prints. In thermal media, high-gloss HG rolls cost a bit more than standard S rolls and produce visibly sharper ultrasound prints, which matters when clinicians need to read fine anatomical detail. Paying up also tends to bring better factory packaging and lot consistency, which adds reliability over months of storage. Whether the upgrade pays off depends on how closely you (or your team) examine the final prints.
