Agfa Process 91 = RA-4?

[Athiril]

My google-fu is failing.

It says Agfaprint, so I am assuming this is their RA-4, like AP-70 is their C-41.

Any comments?


Large lot of chemicals going in my local area that I just moved to a little while ago for local pickup only... seems it was destined to end up in my posession.

If it is, be careful. I bought a remaining Agfa 5L RA-4 kit and the CD was a suspension of tar. Very messy.

Their range of RA-4 chemistries typically goes under "Process 94".

But once they had even a chemistry range "MSC" for their MSC minilabs including RA-4 papers. So I guess that Process 91 was a proprietory minilab process too.

Their current RA-4 chemistries are called "ASP 94..."

This is a guess, but check these chemicals careful.

AP92 was for sure the former Ektaprint 2 process, (Color Developer 210sec and Blix).
AP95 was a rapid EP2 process, to reach RA4 development times. Maybe AP91 simply had separated bleach and fix stages ? Anyway I would be careful. If you remark some Benzylalkohol in the MSDS or on the label for the Color developer, it’s probably obsolete EP2 processing chemistry…

Thank you Stefan, I did not think of it being that old. (Had no access to my paper based archive.)
