Just got some Agfa Process 85 Color paper - is it good for anything?

[mkillmer]

Hi All!
I just got 2 boxes of very large (16x20 inch) Agfacolor Process 85 paper (from 1997).
The similar age B&W paper I have been using from the same source has been excellent so I think it has been stored well, but I dont know what to do with this paper - can it be cross processed in RA-4 or similar?
Any ideas for projects?
Thanks!
Mark

Dear mkillmer

AP 85 is quite a while ago, it will be difficult to get the developing agent nowatimes.
If the paper is really that old the results will be at least doubtful

I’ve found a useful link for this process, if you are comfortable with home brewing this may help.
