New product: ADOX Art Baryta ADOX Art Baryta is a high-quality, pure white card with a basis weight of 190 gsm, specially designed for coating with coloured dispersions or photographic emulsions. The ideal base for alternative photographic processes. Details: Chemically neutral, acid-free paperboard with a basis weight of 190g/m². Coated with a pure white barium sulphate emulsion. Specially stabilised for use with oil- or water-dispersed pigments or colour couplers. Suitable for coating with photographic emulsions or for alternative photographic processes. The barium sulphate coating enables brilliant whites and prevents the coating medium from penetrating and bleeding into the substrate. This results in high sharpness with colour solutions. With photographic emulsions, consumption is reduced. The special surface coating facilitates the adhesion of the emulsion or colours. Can also be used as a creative inkjet baryta paper.

Dear Mirko, Does the paper still come from Weißenborn?

MirkoBoeddecker

Hi Uwe, Yes, again. Schüller bought Weißenborn after the fall of the Berlin Wall. However, the photographic paper used to come from Osnabrück until production on the large machines had to be stopped two years ago. Now they’re making it in Weißenborn again. Unfortunately, the base isn’t quite as smooth as it used to be. However, our Art Baryta is not a standard baryta like the one we use for the MCC. The emulsion is specially optimised for colorants and colour couplers and is therefore suitable for both black and white and colour emulsions. There’s quite a lot happening at the moment in the alternative processes sector when it comes to colour printing. That’s where we want to take this product too. Best regards, Mirko

Hello Mirko Could you please define ‘colour printing process’ for me? What else can I do with this paper? Is it intended for use with liquid emulsion? Best regards, Oliver

MirkoBoeddecker

You can apply a coating to the paper using your own emulsions of any kind. These can be light-sensitive emulsions based on silver salts (photographic emulsion) or on other bases (cyanotype, salted paper, etc.). You can also prepare and apply dye-transfer emulsions yourself. The latest trend is ink dyes. Unlike normal paper, our Art Baryta has a baryta emulsion. It is therefore brilliant white and has a very smooth, even, finely matt surface on which any emulsion adheres perfectly and spreads well. There is no paper grain or similar showing through, as with conventional paper, and you need considerably less emulsion. The paper is specifically designed to be coated. With whatever you like. Best regards, Mirko

Thanks for your reply Inkodye is brilliant, isn’t it? Is it based on the same principle as photographic paper that develops in the sun? What about lightfastness? So, after exposure, you have to rinse it off with water. How is the dye fixed, and what about UV protection? The colours seem to react to UV radiation. Best wishes, Oliver

Hi Mirko, Are there any small sample packs available to try out? The size doesn’t matter. So the (cyanide) emulsion stays on top of the support and doesn’t sink in. Consequently, the image should come out much more sharp than on uncoated copperplate paper, right? Processing is the same as for normal baryta paper. Wash out the residual emulsion. Then rinse again? And off to the press? Is 30x40 in the pipeline? Regards, Sven.

Hi Mirko, Are there any small sample packs available to try out? The size doesn't matter.

They’re in the pipeline in 8x10 inches.

The (cyano) emulsion therefore remains on top of the substrate and does not sink in. Consequently, the image should come out much more sharp than on uncoated copperplate paper, correct?

That’s the theory, at least. It should work that way. The extent to which sharpness is actually affected in individual processes will need to be determined experimentally.

Processing would be the same as for normal baryta. Wash out the residual emulsion. Then rinse again? And off to the press?

Yes. Process it as the respective process requires. You don’t need to take Art Baryta into account. It dries like baryta paper.

Is 30x40 in the pipeline?

Yes, all sizes can be produced to order at short notice. We started with 8x10 so that our American partners have a chance to offer something in a timely manner. Best regards, Mirko
