In 1874 he founded the first Austrian factory for photo paper in Vienna and initially produced albumen paper . From 1882 he also produced the chlorosilver gelatine paper developed by Josef Maria Eder and Giuseppe Pizzighelli (1849–1912) and later also platinum and gelatine copy paper. N. Schlotterhoß (1852–1892) invented the automatic copier or exposure machine with an electrical regulator for the mass production of photographic copies, which was first introduced at Just. After the pressure of competition increased in the 1890s, Eduard Just left the photographic paper production to Ferdinand Hrdliczka's company in 1908 and began producing Vaseline and fats.
