New paper?

I just tried again to see if Tim Rudman's site is working and it is still not so that has been several days now. It is probably unconnected to the delay and the word on the street source that was mentioned but where did this delay of a week "word" originate?

Mind you the word on the street was always a good source for Frank Drebin. That shoeshine guy knew everything

Tim Rudman is the last person I would listen to about PWT. He predicted its return to the market several years ago, and he did so, as with a lot of other things being claimed these days, "with no evidence whatsoever."

There's a thread with a few insiders around here somewhere. It seems a lot closer to release now than it once was and I'd be surprised if they didn't manage to release it this year

Yes, the plan was to release it in 2020 but covid sorta changed that. But Tim had predicted its return years ago with a statement that seemed as if he had inside information, got a lot of people's hopes up (not mine, because I never believed it since he never produced evidence)

But they are releasing it in liquid emulsion so we're getting closer..
 

From what I understand, Tim Rudman has been one of the testers of the new PWT over the years, and I think has been sent test coatings at several stages for his feedback. PWT has not been able to be Adox's first priority material, so every time it hits a snag, it has to take its place in the queue.
 

And a good tester he is. Bad predictor thats, all.
 
Postcard 'template' is embarrassing IMO. Just say it's no longer available.

It would make more sense to supply information on templates for common sizes of labels - such as the Avery line.
I print three Avery 5160 labels for each card - one for the name and address, and two which I split my card information on.
Here is what one row of three labels looks like - this is from the most recently concluded Postcard exchange - Round 51

I put these together using the mail merge functions in my word processor, WordPerfect.

I can't weigh in on that at all, but Mirko from ADOX himself said they repeatedly thought they had it nailed and then lost a supply of some component and had to start almost over. In one video I saw he showed boxes of tests and reams and reams of samples from 10 years of work. I think everyone had multiple false starts.
 

I don't want to beat the dead horse any more, but he predicted it long before ADOX said anything about it's release being imminent and all subsequent evidence suggests it was very premature. The quote is around here somewhere, but its water under the bridge now...
