ADOX Polywarmtone RC and FB

These papers are sold by fotoimpex at a really convenient price. Do some of you has had the chance to test them?

I used the FB version of this a few years ago. They weren't called Adox then, but are probably the same thing. It is a beautiful paper. The standard has a warm emulsion on a white base, while the "chamois" has a warm base color. While the chamois is nearer to the old Agfa Portriga Rapid paper than any other I've tried, I found the base to be a little too yellow.

The white base paper is very nice, but since only the emulsion is warm the paper looks a lot warmer with darker scenes than with photos that have a lot of white in them.

I found using a warm tone developer really helped bring out the tones. I mix my own and was using D-52. Gives a nice color to warm tone paper compared to D-72 (Dektol).

If this is the same paper as JandC Polywarmtone, its the fiber paper I use. I develop in ID-78+ (basically ID-78 with twice the sulfite, which I got to by accident). Its very nice stuff, in my opinion. I wasn't aware of an RC version, though.

These are Forte manufactured papers, originally sold by Fotoimpex as Classic Arts Polywarmtone, also sold by the US importer J&C.

Fotoimpex now own the Adox brand name, so don't get confused with EFKE who manufacture the old Adox (well derivatives of) films & papers.
