So it seems, another victim of digital (or have I to say real economy)
world are chemicals from Paterson. Few days ago I decided to order again my
favorite Paterson Aculux II and did get negative reply from my supplier. On
my question what is going on I have received this answer today:
"Paterson stopped making the chemicals themselves a number of years
ago, they have been getting Champion to make them to the original recipes
until recently. Champion have now stopped and Paterson are not continuing
the range with another manufacturer."
So what will I do next. I will receive last 3 liters of Aculux, but in a
mean time I need to find something else. And I would hope something which
will stay longer in this world, so I do not have to do next switch in one
or two years. But what that can be? Do you have any suggestion for acutance
developer like Aculux II?
My supplier suggested Fotospeed FD10, I never heard about it so I have no
idea if I can trust it to stay next 5 years at least.
