Agfachrome PE CU 310 and CU 312 Papers
Agfa-Gevaert introduced Agfachrome paper in 1979 as a reversal colour printing paper for making colour prints directly from colour transparencies. The paper was similar in structure to the negative colour printing paper MCN Type 5 and the emulsions were coated onto a polyethylene coated paper base (PE). Two finishes were available, glossy 310 and smooth semi-matt 312. In the darkroom the paper had to be handled in total darkness.
It was recommended that a first trial print was made without any correction filters in the enlarger filter draw, or the dials of the colour head set to zero, and a trial exposure made at a lens aperture of F8.
Whatever the colour cast of the test print, the opposite colour filter to the cast was used to arrive at a correctly balanced print. A yellow cast was corrected by inserting magenta and cyan (blue) filters in the filter draw or by dialling up magenta and cyan filters in a colour head. The method of colour correction was exactly the opposite to printing a colour negative.
In 1980, Agfachrome paper was obtainable in sizes from 5 x 7 inches to 20 x 24 inches in 10, 25 and 100 sheet packings. Pictures of the packaging are shown below.
