View Full Version : MCP is back !
ADOX Fotoimpex 07-07-2008, 03:24 PM Good news !
On monday July 6th 2008 we succesfully coated MCP 310 and 312.
The paper is now drying down and hardening. After confectioning we will be able to ship in late August.
We also plan the next coating to take place in Oktober with Shipping in November/December.
We are now officially accepting orders for the paper.
Best regards,
Mirko
Andrew Moxom 07-07-2008, 03:36 PM Great news Mirko! Thanks for the update. Do you have an ETA on when MCC111 will be ready for coating?
Where can one put in an order?
Thank you,
Curt
Resoman 07-07-2008, 03:58 PM MCP 111 is the glossy surface, right? What are the 310 and 312 surfaces?

MCP 310 and 312 is resin coated. The 3 in the nomenclature signifies that.
MCC 111 is the glossy, but that's fiber based. I think that MCC is coming later in the season if I'm not mistaken.

You've got Oompa Loompas making photo paper now, have you?
Bill Mitchell 07-07-2008, 07:15 PM Are these the old AGFA papers? Like Portriga, etc?
jeroldharter 07-07-2008, 07:50 PM I am sure I will try some but how about some descriptive names like "Multicontrast Glossy?" On the other hand, "ADOX MCP 310" does have an anachronistic charm to it.
ozphoto 07-08-2008, 02:55 AM Wonderful news, Mirko! Just received my tests sheets today - can't wait to get into the darkroom tomorrow to test it out. Looking forward to being able to purchase it soon.
ADOX Fotoimpex 07-08-2008, 03:27 PM Just so there is no confusion: MCP 310 and 312 are RC papers glossy and matt coated on someone elses machine with our emulsion.
The machine we will make the MCC on is still beeing assembled and thus we can present the RC paper now but not the fibre version.
Yes, these papers will be just like the ones made by Agfa Germany before. Just the base has changed a bit in the meantime and there will be no backprint.
You can order directly with us (info@fotoimpex.de) or contact freestyle for north america.
Best regards,
Mirko
Gary Holliday 07-08-2008, 04:23 PM When MCP is eventually coated onto the new machine, will there be a noticeable difference to the current paper?

How could anyone know that in advance?
Gary Holliday 07-09-2008, 07:49 AM Experience? They have engineers and technicians.

Well it depends on what one calls noticeable.
There are noticeable differences between any batch of photopaper but you might need very precise instruments to measure this.
As far as MCP is concerned there is no necessary difference. We can adjust any parameter on the old machine which we can adjust on the contract coaters machine. The engineers in charge know how to shape the curve and which other knobs to turn. So I donīt expect anyone to see any difference.
Best regards,
Mirko
