These are my selected print chemicals. Only the paper developer - LPD - remains from my earlier - 10 years - darkroom work. The stop bath - eco pro - and the fixer - Arista - are new and most importantly, odorless. In the past I used Agfa photographic paper. This product is no longer available, as Agfa is out of the photographic paper business. After much searching/reading/e-mailing others, I am going to use Adox MCC 110 paper. Turns out that the paper is coated using the old Agfa machines. The only claimed difference between Adox and Agfa is the base on which the coating is applied. The old paper Afga base is no longer manufactured. The new Adox base is said to have a bit colder and less warmer tone. Of course, this will depend somewhat on the developer being used. Time to get in the darkroom and get to work. Return in a day or so and check out the results. (click on image to enlarge)
