I have not seen this yet, but i believe it involves Poly-Warmtone .......

I love her. Great video. Thanks for posting! I do hope they get around to reviving Forte Polygrade V. That was my all time favourite paper...ever.

Yeah, i thought there would be more interest in this video.......
When i watch stuff like this, it makes me wonder why Film/Paper does not cost 3x what it does.

Thanks! Beautiful and interesting video!

Chemistry is hard! Great video.

all those big machines and still no Ilfochrome paper?
just a joke, we all know there is much more than just the machines involved in remanufacturing a product like that

You are right! Our job is to print more ...

From what I understand she, as well as some other established printers, received her first Polywarmtone paper batch somewhere in June. And it looks like this video is shoot during that timeframe. Poppies do not grow in the fall, not even in Switzerland. So hopefully this video is a teaser that the public release of Polywarmtone is eminent. That would be great, wouldn't it?

I think that it must be so. Otherwise, the video wouldn't make much sense.

50 million Swiss francs for the drying machine, or the whole unit?

Anyone know?

Mick.

 

[twelvetone12]

If I understood correctly, it was the whole installation.

Ilfochrome, no, but perhaps Adochrome?

I thought 50 million Swiss francs was the cost of building the plant, rather than what Adox paid for it. (Of course, I could be wrong!)

Very interesting to see the process of coating film/paper. Gives me a new appreciation for the people who continue to keep analog alive.

If there's dog hair in my package of Polywarmtone I'll know where it came from

Excuse me - may I ask you a question? What is the current situation with the ADOX CHS 100 II film? I desperately waiting for it - it has not been available for quite a bit of time... especially in 120 format. Is there any hope we will get it?

Thank you

Just watched this and found it very interesting and uplifting - I enjoyed using Forte paper in the past, so here's hoping our Adox supplier here in AUS actually gives us the option to use!
