ADOX MCP resin Coated Papers are beeing re-produced on original Agfa machinery purchased from the liquidator of Agfa Photo Leverkusen and show identical parameters and image properties.

ADOX MCP 310/312
Premium resin coated photopaper with outstanding image quality

The Emulsions for this paper are beeing produced on the original Agfa machinery which ADOX purchased together with former Agfa engineers from the liquidator of AgfaPhoto in Leverkusen.
They are identical in all measurable parameters with the papers formerly sold by Agfa under the "Agfa Multicontrast Classic" name.
This paper is among the technologically most advanced papers in the world. With its four separately made emulsions which are coated together it yields a range of achievable contrasts from 0 to 5,5. Other variable contrast papers, especially those with only one emulsion layer, reach at the outermost grade 4.
The paper is made from selected raw ingredients which are all carefully tested for their photographic properties prior to emulsification. In advance of every coating run several test runs are beeing undertaken on smaller machines in order to guarantee perfect batch to batch consitency.

This paper achieves a great tonal range and crsipy blacks.

The paper can be dried easily and tones nicely.

Resin coated photopaper with variable contrast and high paper speed
Range of achievable gradations: 0 to 5,5
Tonality: Neutral black to warm black.
DMAX: > 2,2
RC base, white
available surfaces: glossy (310) and semi matt/pearl (312)*

*MCP´s 312 surface can be best compared to Ilford´s 44M (Pearl) and Fomas 313 (Velvet). It shows deep blacks but no noticeable surface structure.
Ilford´s 24M (Satin) and Fomas 312 are matter then MCP 312.
