Doug Munson
and I exchanged e-mails about this last week and I recommended that someone
approach the eastern European manufactures (Efka, Foma, etc) to see if they
might pick up the ball.
CHEERS!

Subject: News Regarding Centennial
POP
Disheartening:
Taken from the Chicago Albumen Works site…
“Despite
assurances from a year ago, we regret to report that Harman Technology (the
company that bought and shut down the Kentmere production facility in December,
2007) has informed us that they will not be able to produce Centennial™
printing-out paper. Unfortunately, in the current economic climate, the
cost of procuring the Centennial™ POP formula and the R&D required to
bring it to market through another manufacturer prohibits us from attempting to
re-establish this product.
To our
knowledge, there is no POP being manufactured today. Introduced in Munich in 1884, it has
been one of the most long-lived printing products in the history of
photography.
We thank you
for supporting our efforts to maintain POP over the last 2 decades, and we are
sorry that Centennial™ will no longer be available to you. “
