Finally got around to trying this paper. Comparing it to Lodima, seems 2-3 times faster. Most of my 8X10 and 7X17 negs have high DR suitable for pt/pd printing. Using Moersch Selectol Soft, I can easily print them on the Fomalux (as well as Lodima grade #2). Prints are in developer with agitation for at least 2.5 minutes. The print has nice tone and good clarity. Ordered more.

Jim, I can not recommend my 90+ year old Korona. Its shakier than me. But I do like the format.

About half way down the page. I have an Arca....mmmm! But as i have a 617 RFH for it, and nothing that could enlarge a 7x17, it does seem extravagant. Still dreams are free..... |

Let me resurrect the thread to comment a problem I had last week when printing with this paper.
I like Fomalux SP 111. Even sometimes it's slooooooow to print, images on it are very nice to my taste. I bought four 10 sheets envelopes from Fomafoto last November; paper lot number is 060148/02. I wanted to print my exchange print in this paper; I finished the opened box I had (different paper lot number) and then opened a new box. I printed first test strips, developed them in Defender 55D, stop in plain water and fixed in plain hypo (15%). Then I began to wash the strips with plain tap water at 25C approximately; I use a fish tank pump to constantly wave the water. After a bit more than one hour washing, the image began to disappear. I stopped the print session. I forgot some test strips inside water in the tray and after two hours the paper was absolutely white. I wrote a mail to Fomafoto and Slavomir answered quickly: he has no reason to explain what happened to my paper, maybe I washed it for too long. He will pass the problem to Foma factory. Do you think I washed the paper for too long? |

Too hot more than too long, gelatin swelling can be a trouble with certain coatings

Not yet Barry. I have ordered a 5 sheet pack last week (free shipping from Fotoimpex worldwide on this item).

Interesting. I recall in the 1950s a friend's father being able to contact print from MF negs(6x9) in evening daylight in his hallway which had no windows in it but allowed enough light from another room to enter so you could see perfectly well.
Would this stuff be insensitive enough for this or if not then a small incandescent bulb in a closed room? Mike |
