Does anyone know a good place to purchase 8x10 or cut sheets of any size of Fuji Crystal Archive DP II Gloss? I've been buying from Rapideye in London, but the prices are steep after shipping.
If you will, please contact FujiFilm through this page: https://www.originalphotopaper.com/en/contact/
It's important that they receive this question so they're aware of demand for paper for analog printing purposes.
The person reading that mailbox will also forward your question to the US office. Hopefully they will respond with retail outlets.
However...there's a good chance that you will not receive a response, or if you do, the response is that they don't sell cut sheet. This is because cut sheet is a small portion within a small application area. The result is that any sheet-cutting happens 'aftermarket'; none happens at the actual factory that makes the paper. There are likely 3rd parties in the US offering FujiFilm cut sheet products; maybe someone else can chime in on this as I don't know any names (several sources in Europe though).
Best thing to do is just to get a roll of paper and cut it yourself in the dark. Unfortunately not everyone can do that, but if you have a darkroom then you can get sheets very cheap this way.

My suggestion is to buy a roller type paper cutter, and buy paper in rolls. Ready cut sheets of DP II are not provided by Fuji, and are always cut by a third party. Their price is usually very high compared to paper in rolls.
Almost all color paper sold in sheets is the standard. "green label" CA (European name, USA has differences in product names), which is not the same quality with DP II.
The DPII label is beginning to show up in the US, but only in rolls considerably wider than 8 or 10 inch. Same goes for Super C II. Our only available cut sheet line is the basic CA ii selection - a thin paper available in three sheens up to 20X24 inches. It's fine for many common applications, but not one of Fuji's premium quality papers.
