1) Adox Polygrade (polywarmtone), very warm emulsion on white paper stock, sensitive to developers with regard to print colour.
2) Fomatone MG Classic, very warm emulsion which again responds well to developer type. The paper stock is on the 'cream' side.
I'd heard that ADOX was repackaged Forte. Do you happen to know if that is actually the case?
Thanks for your help.
Sounds like it was Forte Polywarmtone, however, it also sounds like they're trying to make it go the way of Agfa MCC/MCP.ADOX said:Note: 1.1.2007: This paper is currently available only as supplies last due to legal problems in the original plant where it was coated.
We are planing to recreate a paper with similar characteristics in short time but cannot give any detailed timeline at the moment.
From the ADOX page on the subject...

Please please please. I only got a box left.

Further Foma is working on a 1:1 replacement for the Forte PW14.
Best regards,
Robert
Any guesses on when it might happen?

When you say 1:1, do you mean its got the exact properties?
Sure, I am just waiting abour the first samples Fomatone MG 532 and later the first batch of "Fomatone MG PW14"
It's a main project between some European manufactureres and distributors from Germany (Moersch), France (Bergger) and the Netherlands (Fotohuis).
As soon we have found a reliable distributor (for Moersch Photochemie) for the USA and Canada the stuff can go around the other side of the pond. Also Bergger will be able to distribute under their own label.
MG532 (Natural, colored based baryta) is made now and for next month in Hradec Kralové.
It will be available around April (2008) in our web shop in a few regular dimensions.
Thats good news, is there any test reviews of it yet?
My paper of choice for quite a while now was Forte Polywarmtone--which, of course, is no longer produced. I stocked up on what I could, but I need to find a replacement.
As I don't have much by way of funds to tinker and experiment with alternative papers, I'm looking for feedback/suggestions for comparable warmtone papers.
Thanks!
