This thread is helpful because I recently scored a treasure trove of papers from someone getting out of the business...Portriga, Brovira, plus all the other Agfa papers, Forte, Oriental, Ektalure, all sizes, you name it...
I have it stored in cabinets right now but LA will heat up early in the season, so I need to do something relatively soon.
Thanks for all the advice...btw, how much better is it to store in the freezer rather than just the fridge?
Most paper available today is developer incorporated. Freezing does not prevent deterioration. I found this out the hard way when Kodak discontinued Polymax.
You can freeze it but do not expect to extend its life beyond an additional 6 months. That is my experience. You will still have paper but you will not achieve the bright whites you will get with a fresh batch.

...have acquired a selection of chest and upright freezers and fridge freezers - all full of (mostly discontinued) papers...Tim
Tim, please explain about your cadmium comment. I have seen this mentioned before in posts. What papers used cadmium?
The reason for my question is that I have tested positive in the past for cadmium toxicity in my system. Always wondered where I would be exposed to cadmium.
