Fujifilm Still Making Color Paper?

RedSun · Jan 17, 2020

I have some old Fuji Crystal Archive P III and Super Type C paper. Just wonder if Fuji still makes those color papers.

They still make various RA-4 papers, in Asia and Europe. The latest version was only introduced about a year ago.

However there is no updated listing. You have to look at the Fuji sites and look what is available in your part of the world in what conversion.

Fujifilm is by far global market leader for silver-halide colour paper (Process RA-4). This market is huge, about 250 - 300 million m² globally.
They are running three photopaper factories worldwide: One in Japan, one in the US and one in Europe.
They have been also continously active in R&D over all the years and introduced new papers. Recent One: "Maxima", a highest quality paper for best results for C-prints in galleries, museums and exhibitions. It has a colour stability of more than 100 years. It was introduced at Photokina 2018.

Best regards,
Henning

Freestyle sells it, so does Adorama. I assume it's the current version.

They changed the boxes to a much lower quality cardboard. BOOOOOOO.

Interesting facts about Fuji and its RA4 paper interms of factories, sales etc but in response to Redsun's question which you quote, does this mean that none of the paper he asks about is still made?

Thanks

If you scroll down a bit and then click on the images, all current Fujifilm papers are listed (each pictures represents one paper type):

Thanks to Fujifilm for keeping cut sheets. I was a loyal Kodak guy for decades. I made the switch when Kodak stopped cutting sheets, I'm very pleased with the results. I would like to try "professional" offerings. Still Crystal Archive is a very nice paper.

Adox if you're listening, maybe cut some different color paper stocks?

Any or all of Maxima, Deep Matte or Fujiflex would be very welcome.
