SCKStef HELLO Does anyone know the company Amaloco?? lovisYes! They’re from the Netherlands But: They’re going out of business and are currently being distributed by Phototec in Germany. Regards, Stähne
cfb_de What has been said so far is correct. Jaap van Beugen has closed his business because the investment required to comply with the new Dutch environmental regulations would have been too great. Amaloco products are currently still available from the last production batches, but as far as I am aware, a resumption of production is currently under discussion. I use the X55 as a fixer from them and, until now, their selenium toner. That said, there are general changes afoot regarding selenium toner: the trade inspectors are applying what I consider to be a dubious interpretation of German hazardous substances legislation. Consequently, from now on, selenium toner will only be available with a concentration of less than 1%. This means that it will no longer be possible to perform dilution at a ratio of 1+30, but only 1+10 to achieve the same effect. Best regards, Franz
