Micheal and Paula are keeping Azo alive by buying Kodak's
minimum to keep it in production. They also have some good
advice for using it on their web site. If you buy from them
you will be assured of getting fresh stock and will help to
keep the paper on the market.
Azo is the last of a once large family of contact speed
printing papers. The main difference between Azo and
enlarging papers is that it is about 1/100th the speed. It
is also, according to Kodak, a silver chloride emulsion,
enlarging papers are almost all mixtures of chloride and
bromide. Actually, this should make no difference to a
paper's tonal rendition or image color but pure chloride is
too slow to be made into an enlarging paper. I am not so
sure that Azo really looks any different from any other
silver-gelatin paper but there are lots of people who think
it does so maybe there is something to it.
Kodak has been making this stuff for around 90 years.

I've just noticed that B&H Photo has 4x5 Azo in boxes of 500 sheets in stock.
Grade 3 only. Last time I looked MichealandPaula did not stock it in 4x5. Forte
makes a contact paper (according to their website) but it seems to be an RC paper.
