It isn't a duplicate--it IS the Agfa paper. Same machines, processes and
everything. The only difference is that the paper base is brighter. ADOX
bought the machines at the fire sale.

However, it took quite an effort to bring this paper back on the market.
Evidently, there was a lot of chewing gum holding things together and the
machine operators had all sorts of little tricks to make things work. I've
read some of the stories involved in getting this to work--these people
pulled off the impossible.

Basically, the universal feeling is that with the brighter base, ADOX MCC
110 is the natural improvement to the paper that everybody wanted. They took
what was otherwise the near-perfect paper and made it better without
wrecking anything.
