Does anyone have any experience with Adox Classic Warmton PE paper?
Is it comparable to AGFA PE paper?
As the paper doesn’t contain any built-in developer, how long are the development times and fixing times?
Can anyone help me out? Many thanks for your help.

Hello Martin,
If you can work at 24 degrees in the developer, stop bath and fixer, and use Calbe N 113 for development, as well as a Citro stop bath and a ‘neutral fixer’ (e.g. Maco LP Fix Neutral; there are, of course, other brands available), then the following times are correct:
Adox/Classic Arts PE paper – 60 seconds development
Stop bath – 60 seconds
Fixing – 90 seconds
Adox/Classic Arts baryta paper – 90 seconds
Stop bath – 60 seconds
Fixing – 90 seconds
These are my times, which have proven to be correct and absolutely reliable in practice. Please note: with neutral fixers, always use a stop bath first! Neutral fixers drastically reduce the required rinsing times (which is only beneficial with baryta paper), and if you also use a rinsing aid (e.g. Lavaquick) during rinsing, it becomes even more environmentally friendly, as it uses less water and requires an even shorter rinsing time! This applies particularly to those working with baryta paper.
Best regards,
Lothar
