Hi - I am selling another lot of various types of black and white photo paper as one lot for $100, shipping will be extra. I estimate UPS Ground shipping to be about $12-$15, depending on your state, I am in IL. Payment through Paypal (no reason to send payment as gift, I will cover the fee), sale for CONUS only.

1) Ilford Multigrade RC Cooltone Perle MGC .44M. 8X10. There are 83 of 100 sheets left. I don’t know how old it is but the box doesn’t say Harman so it is before 2005 but not before 2000 since Cooltone was introduced in 2000.

2) Ilford Multigrade RC Cooltone Perle MGC .44M. 5X7. There are 91 of 100 sheets left. I don’t know how old it is but the box doesn’t say Harman so it is before 2005 but not before 2000 since Cooltone was introduced in 2000.

3) Ilford Multigrade IV Glossy RC Deluxe MGD.1M. 8 1/2 X 11. There are 42 of 50 sheets left. I don’t know how old it is but the box doesn’t say Harman so it is before 2005.

4) Ilford Multigrade IV Perle RC Deluxe MGD.1M. 5X7. There are 42 of 100 sheets left. I don’t know how old it is but the box does say Harman so it is on or after 2005.

5) Ilford Multigrade IV FB Glossy. 11X14. There are 5 of 10 sheets left. I don’t know how old it is, the box says Harman so it is on or after 2005. The prior owner said he bought it within the last two years.

6) Fotokemika Varycon KM FB Matte Double Weight. 5X7. There are 15 of 25 sheets left. The prior owner said he bought it within the last two years.

7) Forte Bromofort Fiber Base Glossy Single Weight. 5X7. There are 16 of 25 sheets left. Age unknown.

8) Forte Bromofort Fiber Base Glossy Single Weight. 5X7. Unopened pack of 25. Age unknown.

9) Forte Fortespeed RC Glossy. 8X10. There are 3 of 25 sheets left. Age unknown.

10) Kodak Polycontrast III RC Glossy F. 8X10. There are 19 of 25 sheets left. Age unknown.

11) Kodak Ektalure Double Weight G. 8X10. There are 20 of 25 sheets left. Age unknown.

12) Kodak P-Max Art RC Double-Matt. 8X10. There are 9 of 25 sheets left. Age unknown.

For the open packs/boxes, I made a print from each pack/box of paper using the top sheet of paper, that way I used the ‘worst’ paper of the lot to test with instead of grabbing one from the middle or bottom. You can see below that each is usable, but there are varying degrees of fog and contrast due to their age and depending on the type of paper. The most affected is the Kodak P-Max Art, as seen below. I bet if you added some benzotriazole to your paper developer for any of the older fogged/contrastless papers, it might print even better (less fog and better contrast); although, I don’t have any here so I can’t test it. Specs of prints: Liquidol 1:9, MG filter was 3 1/2 or 4 or 4 1/2 depending on the age of the paper.

I had a blast printing with all these papers and think you will too! I believe there are 370 sheets of paper as part of this sale! There are some real gems here like the Ektalure and cold tone FB Bromofort.

Let me know if you have questions or wish to buy, via a PM. No returns but I have done my best to count (with powderless gloves on) the amount of paper for sale and tested its quality (except for the unopened pack of Bromofort but the opened pack printed well).

I have sold here before and got a nice feedback of my sale if you are not familiar with me:

Let me know if you have questions or wish to buy via a PM. CONUS sale only.

Thanks,
Andy

Photos taken via: Auto white balance, no flash, daylight, blinds open. Note the photo printed with the Ektalure was toned in selenium so that is why it is not b/w. Also on each pack/box is a post it with the number of left out of the number that came in the pack/box:

Just want to give a shout out to Andy - just bought his last lot of expired paper and it was shipped FAST and packed nicely. His communication is stellar and from the 10 or so contact proof prints that I made today - the paper prints fine.

He is a GREAT seller!!
