Bromoil Paper - what should I use and where can it be obtained?

Hi,

I'm just thinking about having a go at doing some Bromoil prints and although a kit containing all necessary chemicals and 10 sheets of paper can be purchased (from Silverprint), future replacement paper, in case I get hooked, seems to be very difficult to obtain.

The papers specific to the process are Kentmere Art Document (now discontinued), and a Forte Paper also discontinued.

Does anyone know of an alternative paper that can be used and where it can be purchased or have a receipe/technique for coating your own paper.

Cheers

My current favorite paper for bromoil is Kentmere Fineprint VC finegrain matt.

Many use Ilford multigrade IV fiber matt paper for bromoil.

Good luck and cheers!

I only use liquid emulsion as base..

SO easy, but a slightly different recipie for the bleach...

be careful!! it is highly addictive!
