Great to hear it, Simon.
Especially the teaser about print through storage.

Simon,

Good news as this type of product is not always that straightforward to obtain.

Great to hear! Hopefully with Ilfords existing distribution network they'll be a little easier to get a hold of here in Sweden than for example the printfile stuff.

A simple 4x5 enlarger in the spirit of you pinhole camera would make it 'everything'

Hi Simon, well you can buy film, film developer and fix, paper paper developer and fix and now stuff to save it in archivally. You can even buy a camera from you guys these days. Contact printing and such. Ah well a lot anyway and I am thrilled to see the additions. Good to soo the commitment to analogue photography!

This quote by Steven Brierley from the press release

"Whilst obviously designed for archival storage and preservation of analogue photographic negatives and silver gelatin prints, and fine art inkjet prints, these products offer archival solutions for just about anything else people wish to archive and preserve from fine art drawings and paintings, collectables, documents, textiles and ephemera, all the way to babies first pair of shoes!"​

begs the following question. Will those boxes be buffered, unbuffered, a combination (with unbuffered interior liners) or will one range be buffered and the other one not? Gelatin silver prints are happier in an alkaline, buffered environment, while things like some paintings, textiles, etc. are better stored in a neutral or slightly acidic container.
