Adox Film

I am sure this has been covered in depth here, but just to add the info to this thread, who is manufacturing the paper for them? Inoviscoat?

As far as I know, Inoviscoat is the company that coats the paper but ADOX are cutting and packing the paper themselves. I doubt that they will move the production of MCC 110 to the new Swiss plant as MCC 110 comes in 1m sized rolls and I don't think the new machine is wide enough for that. Film and ( hopefully ! ) the new Pollywarmtone is another thing. I'm enclosing a link to the ADOX news-website where you can read more about the new machine.

In the past several manufacturers were involved, a joint enterprise.

When I was in Germany in the British Army 1957-58 I was sent from Berlin to Iserlohn and there I was introduced to 'ADOX' films by a High Street Camera Dealer Klein Happe and as I worked in the Path Lab of the Military Hospital I had lots of chemicals at British Taxpayers' expense so used to make up Beutler Formula - I still have prints and negs done on R14 !

Years ago when I was "a starving graduate student living in a garret" I mixed my own chemicals to save money for film. After some study I determined that the Beutler formula was the cheapest available. I have many negatives from that period taken on Pan-X and developed in the Beutler formula. It made for a beautiful combination.
