Anyone use Fuji Crystal Archive in 12x16 size?

[Michael Firstlight]

I have a Fujimoto that can process prints up to 12x16. Here is the US that is an odd size, but when I searched for papers I did find that Fuji makes Crystal Archive in 12x16" cut sheets and found at least two online UK retailers selling it? Does anyone here use 12x16" paper? It seems like an odd size, but I'd like to print at the largest size my Fujimoto CP-32 can accommodate and it seems like a good size to print my 6x7 film at full frame.

Regards,
Mike

I haven't but I will comment that if you buy a roll of 12" wide Crystal Archive paper, you will save a bucket of money.

I buy my paper in 8" wide rolls by 295 feet long for $35.00 a roll. That makes 354 8 x 10 prints which comes out to 9 cents a print not including waste.

No problem.
Here is an auction for 3 rolls, a 5" roll, a 10' roll and your 12" roll

all for 80.00

Rolls sounds like a good idea. Expect some effort to cut and store that adequately. The biggest issue with feeding wide paper into the Fujimoto is getting it in straight. Even 11x14 has to be careful about feeding, since it's easy to get it started at a slight angle. The end result is it gets munched by the gears and comes out buggered. I would expect trying to get 12" wide paper to feed exactly right will be challenging, even with the top of the processor acting as a guide.
