Photocanvas

[dE fENDER]

Today I've got a quite rare example of unusual photographic material. It is a sealed pack of soviet black and white photosensitive canvas, 18x24 cm, 10 sheets, expired at feb.1988, which was producing from the middle of 1980s to early 1990s.

Just want to know - did any another manufacturer produce analogical products (with silver emulsion on fabric/canvas, cutted to sheets, with individual package)? If they did, what was their brand names?

Yes, made by other European manufacturers too.

Can you give an example of such product?

 

[AgX]

Maco even has such still listed.

Did not find anything photosensitive there, only for dye printing, can you point?

 

[AgX]

Manufacturers that come to my mind were Argenta, Turaphot, Foma, Orwo.
In any case, photocanvas was a niche product, but not rare.

The Maco canvas is called Structura Lux.

Thanks, it will help. Did the Kodak and Ilford produced it?
