In the past 10 years we have made thousands of emulsions. We had to replace 50% of the ingredients and start over from scratch numerous times because of this. To give you an impression we opened one of the many archive boxes. Each single greyscale sample here has been a change in emulsion (variation of make, blend,...

Today we made the first testcoating with real emulsions. The coating  went well. Now we need a few weeks to analyze the photographic properties. Edit 8.2.2019: The photographic properties are on target. We need to investigate some coating artefcts. The below testimage shows our Polywarmtone II from the Feburary coating in Marly with a stripe of...

In the summer we had successfully undertaken a first testrun with CHS 100 II sheetfilm emulsions. In the meantime the layer build up of the sheet films is by now stable on the cascade. 35mm and 120 films are more complex and we are still in the optimizing process. In the meantime the fans of a "slightly larger"...

Up to now we have only "simulated" Polywarmtone by coating single layer extracts and calculating the result. Now it is time to merge it all in one package on the coater. In order to start we simulated the calculated package on the cascade with dyed gelatine layers. From this you can learn if the package is at...

In the last weeks we have been building around the backside of the new building. Parking spaces have been built, a rainwaterdraining basin and further waste water piping. Inside of the building we have moved tons of machines and materials, and installed electrical, pressurized air, photowater and water piping. ...

There was a lot of interest on the subject. The film is excellent for filtration and super fine grained. Together with the new HR-50 we also presented the new HR-DEV developer. On our ADOX-FOTOIMPEX...
