tears for Forte and list of papers in 2008
|
I found out this week that Forte was closed in 2007. The PW14 polywarmtone is not more here. I will really miss this paper and the too dissapeared developer Agfa Neutol WA. If any know a list of the best fiber papers that are still manufacturing now i would love to know. But i think there are no more good FB warm papers and developers.

hello! you can still get Ilford multigrade or fix grade fiber based papers and they have their own multigrade developers. There’s a distributor in London that deals with all the available and existing black and white materials (process supplies london) google it and you can order online. You can try the Kentmere bromide papers too…
cheers,
nico

Hi Nico. Kentmere are not so good for my taste. Ilford is good for neutral or cold tone. Warm tone is very bad, with yellow instead white. Thanks equal for the info. Any other data?

oh! sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with those products, perhaps you can let me know if you find something to replace your Forte. cheers!

Hi Hernan, you may try to buy ADOX Polywarmtone FB:
http://www.adox.de/english/ADOX_Papers/ADOX_Papers/Polywarmton.html
Which is the remaining stock of Forte Polywarmtone FB.
As a replacement, I don’t know any other warmtone paper on white base apart from Ilford and Kentmere. Foma makes Fomatone MG classic, but AFAIK they are not on white base.
I don’t think the Neutal WA was discontinued, maybe just your distributor dropped it. AGFA chemicals are still manufactured. Ilford and Tetenal have also their own Warmtone developers.
You can find them here for example: http://www.fotoimpex.de/
I don’t use warmtone papers so I can’t give you any advice. But new Ilford WT (on white base) developed in Ilford/Harman WT and toned in KRST was recommended to me.

Thanks Pavol. Difficult to find here East europe products. I will check if some shop can import this new ilford warmtone paper. I remember that my father used adox films in the 60’s. It would be nice to use some new ones. I will wait, who knows, maybe in the future some argentine shop begin to import them. Saludos

Hola Hermano, I have same problems here with new products. Every shop has stock of 5 year old papers (mostly useless) and won’t order new stock. There is not enough interest in silver-based photography to have fresh supplies. I depend on internet shops currently.
