Made for RA-4 Colour Printing
Color Mission is designed specifically for the RA-4 chromogenic colour process, making it suitable for producing colour prints using a traditional enlarger as well as compatible minilab workflows. The modern emulsion is engineered to deliver strong colour rendition, excellent brilliance, and stable finished prints.
High-Gloss Colour Prints
The glossy surface is ideal when you want colour photographs with plenty of visual impact. It produces rich, saturated colours alongside deep blacks and bright whites, with smooth tonal transitions that help retain subtle detail throughout highlights, midtones, and shadows.
Practical RC Base
The resin-coated base makes Color Mission considerably easier to handle and dry than traditional fibre-based papers. It dries quickly and lies flat, making it a practical choice whether you're producing occasional enlargements at home or processing larger quantities of colour prints.
Important Darkroom Handling Information
Modern colour photographic papers such as Adox Color Mission are not designed for use under conventional sodium-vapour colour safelights. Exposure to these lights may fog the paper and can produce a blue colour cast. Adox therefore recommends handling and loading the paper in complete darkness. Alternatively, a suitable infrared viewing system can be used.
What's Included
The quantity supplied depends on the selected paper size, with packs containing 25, 50, or 100 sheets as specified.
TFC's Verdict
Adox Color Mission is an exciting option for photographers who want to make genuine analogue colour prints in the darkroom. The combination of modern RA-4 technology, a practical RC base, and a glossy surface delivers vibrant, professional-looking prints while remaining straightforward to process and dry. With sizes ranging from compact 5 × 7" prints right through to impressive 20 × 24" enlargements, the range also gives colour darkroom printers plenty of room to progress from everyday prints to serious exhibition-sized work.
