HARMAN Direct Positive FB Paper : Note From HARMAN technology Limited :

[RalphLambrecht]

and another +1

 

[RalphLambrecht]

This note is for Mr. Simon Galley of Ilford. Simon, do you have any progress report or update on the situation regarding re-engineering/re-manufacturing a direct positive paper? Many of us are down to our last bits of supply on hand, and would like to see a new direct positive paper on the market.

Personally, if I had my wishes granted, I'd like to see an RC-base direct positive paper, along with FB, as this would be nice for on-location processing in portable darkroom box cameras.

all we need then is a developer and fixer in one chemical and we have a polaroid substitute!

Well..with high contrast, slow speed, and lacking spectral sensitivity, oh AND the need for some kind of portable dark tent at the least.

For some applications (I can think of one use I'd make of this, especially if it toned well in brown or sepia) it would be a great product, but not exactly a substitute for Polaroid.

but I was thinking of making a daylight developing tank for it!

Woohoo!
(although that stack of 11x14 under my bed isn't as valuable anymore, I can go shoot it now that I know I can replace it when it's gone).

Awww man! I was patiently waiting and getting ready to sell my box of 4x5/25sheets in the 500$ ballpark. Now it's ruined.

But yeah, it's very good news.

Good news!

TBH, not really a product which I desparately need right now, but very pleasing to see Harman/Ilford putting so much effort into this and other items to support our hobby. Their approach to business encourages me to continue to use their other analog (and inkjet papers) wherever possible.
