Come to think of it, I remember that the printing operation of newspapers for which I freelanced used Velox to make pages for the photo offset process. That extends the paper's timeline through the early 70s. I don't remember coming in contact with it ;D after that.

I used it for contact prints in HS photo class in the early 70's. Seems like it came in two contrast grades. My journalism advisor referred to paste-up ready prints as "veloxes" so it had became a generic term long before then, like xerox, perhaps.

I remember it from the early 50s when I used it for contact printing. And with the use of Kodak Tri-Chem packs.

Velox-

Does anyone out there remember using this paper?

How long was it a standard at Kodak?

Thanks,
