Ektalure G?

[jfish]

Not that it is any issue, I'd just prefer not to pay $80+ just in fees. I'd be more than happy to pay overnight shipping for the persons USPS money order, which would still be quite a bit cheaper than paypal. Also, properly storing all the paper I've had (8,000 + sheets) since 2000 wasn't free nor cheap. I wouldn't be even selling if I didn't need to raise the money quickly. I'll even discount for large orders.

I'm sorry you feel $5 a sheet is too much, but I don't and I know others will not either.

Thanks so much for your interest though.

Dear gang,

I've contacted all of you individually I hope. I'm sorry to report that the 16x20 and 11x14 are gone. For anyone who's interested I still have a fair bit of fog-free 8x10 left. The owner of the store, which is on the verge of going out of business, has politely requested that if I'm going to pass the paper along to others, that I raise the price back up closer to retail, at $35+tax for a 25-sheet pack. USPS shipping within the US and Canada will be cheap. Any takers feel free to respond here of PM me.

Ektalure G was used extensively for hand colored portraits, nothing could beat it, even today. It was contrast adjustable for over 2 grades. I came very close to duplicating the tone with a bromide paper - developer w/glycin then lightly brown toned (to match the "toned" Ektalure). Surprized? I was, because bromide papers are neutral - cold.

I agree. $5/sheet is at or below retail value. Have you tested your paper for base fog?

Oh yes. I am still using some of the same emulsions on a weekly basis, and what I'm selling is the last 10 boxes of my stock. Like I said, I don't really want to sell, but I need to raise the funds quickly...far quicker than I can by orders coming in for that size and look. It makes or excellent lith printing, regular printing or a different look by using in film developer. It is an extremely versatile paper and it is a shame it was discontinued.

Anyway, hope that helps.

Thanks

Seeing that you're asking $5 per sheet, you could afford the fees...

You know, I was just looking at some other papers for a project coming up and I just noticed tht Ilford's Warmtone Fiber, in 10 sheet packs, is $4.50 a sheet. Ektalure blows that paper out of the water, so your insinuation that $5 a sheet for a paper that was held in such high regards by so many people is outrageous is outragous in itself. I didn't pick up on it earlier or I might have told you that and also that one doesn't always have to open one's mouth and make a comment...especially when it is so misinformed and somewhat confrontational.

Good thing I didn't pick up on your insinuation earlier, huh?

These are 16x20 sheets you're selling?

If so, I humbly apologize for my comments and beg your forgiveness...

yes it is 16x20 sheets, and there is no need to beg anything. I'm sure it was a simple mistake.
