FAST paper

[johnielvis]

there used to be something called "super speed" paper used for photo-booth machines

there is still a source for these--there is a guy in a chicago suburb that will sell rolls of it--but only in the photobooth size--he seems reluctant to reveal his source and is not open to taking my money to obtain the larger sizes either.....

I want to get sheets of this stuff to shoot in a camera to do direct reversal prints.

does anybody know where this stuff is made--it IS made--and if it's made in tiny strips, you can be it's made on LARGE rolls and cut down.....

anybody up on china/eastern europe suppliers...any USA contacts to pllace special orders??? anybody>

We make a similar paper :

HARMAN Direct Positive Paper...it aint 'super speed' though .....

Simon, most B&W Photobooths use areversal process with a rather crude but effective dunk dip processor.

So maybe one of your specialist Digital silver papers would be a very much faster emulsion but of course unlike the Direct positive paper it would need reversal processing.

RIGHT...directpositive is too slow...I develop/bleach/re-expose/re-develop...can get the same speed using regular paper that I can with dir. pos.

the DIGITAL silver/????? that looks promising...anybody know the speed of this....compared to film, that is. I'll look it over...
