MCP 310/312 RC Paper

Due to the very competitive prices of RC papers and the elevated production  costs in Germany MCP can currently not be produced at competitive prices.

Premium resin coated photopaper with outstanding image quality

The emulsions for this paper are being 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 being undertaken on smaller machines in order to guarantee perfect batch to batch consistency.

This paper achieves a great tonal range and crispy blacks.

The paper can be dried easily and tones nicely.
