Hi all,

I don't see in usual online shops Fomatone MG 542 paper. There is a small amount of 532, but also not big choice of paper sizes. Is Foma still producing those, one can order somewhere?

Thanks,

I used the 542 for a number of years...do not see either the 532 or the 542 listed at freestyle
they are the major importers for USA

Fomatone MG 542 has been gone for a couple of years and, sadly, 532 II also appears to be on its way out. I read/heard the supplier of the paperbase no longer offers the product. I hope Foma will come up with some kind of replacement, as I especially like the 532 II very much.

I got some old used stuff from ebay, it is old, but for lith it is not important. Sad, Foma 5xx papers are/were unique.

unfortunate fact but if you find a paper you like buy it....try to stash it away or use for a project because it could be gone tomorrow!!

Paul Strand used to say every time he finds a paper he likes they discontinue it!!
