Designed for traditional black and white printing, Lupex Contact Paper from Adox is a slow-speed contact fiber paper made with a silver chloride emulsion. Designed to replace Kodak Azo or Fomalux, the speed of this paper is approximately 8 stops lower than Adox MCC. This Lupex Contact Paper provides an extremely fine grain and yields superior resolution while working with large format negatives. Additionally, when working with a strong light source and without an enlarger, you can place your large-format film directly onto the paper while burning and dodging your print.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this paper for pinhole cameras without preflashing it ? How would be the results if not preflashed ?

A: Yes you can use this paper without a pre-flash with a pinhole camera, but it will be more contrasty due to the long exposure and relative slow ISO (I think around 7). You'll get more tonality with a pre-flash. One thing about this paper is YOU CANNOT handle it under amber safelight.

Q: 2. Can I use this paper with an Epson 3600 printer?

A: Nope...this is RA4 paper, not inkjet.

Q: 3. After pre-flashing, can I use it a few hours or days later? Or should it be used immediately?

A: There is no set time listed for storing pre flashed HARMAN technology Direct Positive Fiber Based (FB) Paper (Glossy, 4 x 5", 25 Sheets). As with all photographic materials, they do degrade over time - so the shorter the time frame, the better. Be sure to store all papers in a cool and dry environment.

Q: 4. What kind of darkroom chemistry do I need to develop the paper?

A: This fiber based paper can developed in any standard B&W paper developer such as Kodak Dektol, B&H # KODG. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 5. If loading in darkness, is there a notch like regular 4x5 for loading. If not, is there a way to tell?

A: There are no notches. This paper can be loaded with darkroom safely light or in complete darkness the glossy side up.

Q: 6. Will this paper be damaged by airport security check X-ray scan machines or it's package protects the paper from this problem ?

A: Theoretically, it is possible that high strength X-ray machines can fog film or paper, which is typically the case with checked bagged rather than hand-carry/carry-on which typically use a weaker form of x-ray radiation.

Q: 7. Can you leave this paper after exposing in the fridge for a period of time before developing? Not near a darkroom

A: You can hold off processing the HARMAN technology Direct Positive Fiber Based (FB) Paper (Glossy, 4 x 5", 25 Sheets). But do not do that for long times. It is best to process right away but you can wait a few days or so.

Q: 8. I have old and recent b&w slides; anyone have experience printing with an enlarger on this paper? Pre-flash? General exposure length? Preferred developer? Thanks in advance!

A: As always, our wonderful customers are a great resource. Please look to the product reviews for the answers to your questions. Used with care, this paper produces great results.

Q: 9. Please estimate exposure times Aprox. exposure times in a conventional 5 X 7 view camera?

A: I hope this helps, the ISO is rated about 3.

Q: 10. Is this available in luster?

A: Unfortunately, this paper is currently available only in glossy and emulsion-in.
