Maco creative papers

[gabrielelopez]

Hello, in the last year I have experimented a lot with different darkroom papers...something like Lith film, tissue paper and so on.
One of the most interesting results that I've got are from this pictured batch of Maco papers. I tried to look for them but they look long gone from what I've been able to find.
Someone knows if they are someway available in Europe, even with something similar?
The structura Lux Linen and lith film is what interest me mostly.

Thanks everyone!

These were distributed in the US and elsewhere as Cachet or Fotospeed brand.

There is nothing like them anymore.

something similar, some other available lith papers or tissue paper like the Linen Structura? next option will be to buy raw emulsion and do it by myself but is way harder.

Plenty of papers lith well. Tim Rudman’s mailing list is a good source for this.

As far as I know there is no coated tissue or linen anymore. There isn’t even any single weight paper. The very thin Fotospeed paper was one of my favourites.

Tim's pdf is interesting, for sure. Thanks for your answers, I guess I'll ho into the DIY tissue emulsion world.

Let me know if you find a good substrate, I have struggled to find one I like.
