The usual suspects, Freestyle and B&H, have stopped carrying 30x40 RC and FB paper. Does anyone have an alternate source? Is 30x40 still cut for retail sale?

Thanks

Don't they both have it in roll form? The Kentmere rolls aren't that big and cutting B&W paper isn't a big deal with the safelight.

Mural Rolls

Freestyle has Mural rolls of graded Kentmere 20 and 40inch x 30 ft but you will have to cut it to size yourself. Look under specialty papers..Dave

Thanks all for your advice. If rolls are my only choice, then rolls it is. How can I cut sheets economically? The Roto Trim devices that can handle 40 inch are quite expensive. I could hand cut with with a blade and aluminum guide.

If you buy the 30" wide rolls then you only need to cut that width. A little easier then cutting all the way to 40"

If you buy a 30" roll from j and C I'll cut it for you on an automatic cutter (Rollma). You'll need to supply me with the bags, boxes and actual shipping.

I owe John a favor or two and I'm only too happy to facilate a sale for him.

Sadly my cutter will only take up to 30" rolls, but it will cut any size you like including test strips and x, y cuts.

John:

You are a kind man. I am continuously amazed at the generosity of advise and time offered by this community. Your offer to take the time to cut, pack, and ship a roll of paper for a complete stranger takes the cake. I have just ordered a 7,000 foot roll of 30 inch paper. Just kidding. Not kidding about your generosity. I still have some 30x40 stock left, but it is approaching its shelf life. I will carefully consider taking you up on your offer. Even if I end up cutting it myself, I will buy my rolls from J and C based on your offer to help. Thank you.
