raymond_bleesz Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Please suggest a current b/w paper which has the same characteristics as that of the classic old Agfa Portria Rapid paper. <p> If none come to mind, please suggest a toning process similar to the above classic paper. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilhelm Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 While Agfa Multicontrast doesn't look like Portriga, It seems to have the same characteristics that make P.R. such a pleasure to use. In the absence of P.R. I believe that if you try Multicontrast you will find it an acceptable substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed b. Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Luminos and Bergger both make warm tone papers that might interest you, though neither of them looks exactly like Portriga. <p> A press release from Agfa says they are renaming Insignia to Record Rapid (which is what it's been called in other parts of the world for 60 years). <a href=http://www.agfaus.com/news/photo/portriga_2001_en.pdf> http://www.agfaus.com/news/photo/portriga_2001_en.pdf</a>. I find Insignia to be a pretty good paper, with some of the emulsion qualities of Portriga but on a white paper base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
