The sample coating went well and we will be ready to ship the fresh MCC samples for the test project probably by the end of next week.
We coated on a 24 cm machine (including coating edge).
In order to fit a German international letter envelope we might have to cut them down to just below 8x10 Inch whereas 8X10 fullsize would be our target.
The samples beeing sent out are still very fresh and not hardened fully.
Please dry them at room temperature. If you want to try the glazing characteristics of the paper you need to wait for 6 weeks
Currently we are organizing all applications sent and soon everyone will get a confirmation email and be asked to check on their address.
Further applications are still welcome. We could make more MCC paper than we initially thought and there are a few hundred sheets left.
If you are interested in comparing the new paper to the old version please apply to mccproject@adox.de
Unfortunately in return we could only make MCP samples for our own evaluation. But because MCP is still sheduled for real production in September on the large machine it should be available for purchase from November on, so I hope this isn´t too great a loss.
Best regards,
Mirko
Short project summary because the other thread is a bit long by now:
Remaking MCC is the first of four projects undertaken by ADOX in cooperation with former Agfa research scientists.
The original Agfa equipment was purchased from the liquidator and the products will be remade on 100% original emulsification machinery.
While we know how to make these "new" products to be identical in parameters with former Agfa products we did not purchase the Agfa name.
Rather we invested and will invest all money in the equipment and research to bring back as many products as possible.
In order to show what can be done we will send out coating samples of the final testing stage to interested customers.
The paper is identical in all parameters to the original product except for the paper base which is now white and not tinted anymore.
This actually gives the product whiter highlights and extended copy range.
