Kodak AZO still favoured?

[AJH]

Are people still interested in KODAK AZO paper? Mostly large format contact printing I think. Although, where does large start? 4x5 or 6.5x9cm?

When I was in high school, I had some Azo paper in 2x3(ish) format. At the time, I didn't know why it was so slow it took minutes to expose under an enlarger...

Contact paper was designed to exposed with lightbulb in a contract frame or a blub hanging over a frame.

Yep, I know that now. Back in 1974, I didn't -- just got the paper at a yard sale along with some other photo stuff, and tried to use it. Plenty of time for dodging and burning, anyway...

I used Azo back in the day when it was readily available. Nowadays, I use Lodima and Adox Lupex; both as good as Azo, IMO.

I remember having the same experience (also in High School at that time); after ruining a few sheets I removed the lens from the enlarger and voila'!

it all depends what size your negative is AJH
if you want to use "enlarged negatives". I've had good luck waxing paper out of a Xerox machine.
