Mr. Martin Reekie kindly posted an announcement recently that the Forte website is back in action. Nice looking site. But it got me wondering.

I’m not much of a fine artist, but I’ve managed to earn a (commercial) living with sheet film since “Laugh-In” was on television. For everything I’ve seen and learned over the years, I have never actually seen a box of Forte film. Never knew anyone who used it, either.

So I was just wondering, what special product qualities do these folks have to compete with other films and papers? What’s the company history? (They seem to be Hungarian?) Could any of you “heavy users” bring me up to speed?

Many thanks for your help.
