Ilford MGRC Warmtone Pearl Packaging

[Richard Jepsen]

David thanks For the update.

 

[Tina Kino]

we went over to the same white boxes that are used for all our other papers.

It's very confusing that many retailers - and also the Ilford website itself - still shows the brown boxes two years later

Warmtone RC paper has gotten so expensive. I went to buy another 100 sheet box at B&H and it’s $240!

Part of this is tariffs to protect US manufacturers of photographic paper

No, no, no! Tariffs are in place to help the consumer (working class folks) get the best pricing deals they can. I must be one of the rich fat cats that don't benefit from tariffs cuz I haven't found any good deals since these tariffs started.

There's a manufacturer of silver gelatin paper in the USA??

Paul,
The tariffs are suppose to make it worthwhile for some big investor to invest in opening a silver gelatin paper making plant in the USA. I think there are four or five plants already under construction. One will be producing Bezos paper and another will be making Thiel paper and of course there will be one called Orange Brand. paper When you're done ordering those papers Paul I'd like to interest you in some swamp land in Florida that my mother left me when she passed. I'll make you a deal on the swamp land you can't refuse.

AI paper. One that requires data centers powered by eco-friendly nuclear power plants. The Google team is bringing a 50+ year old mothballed neuk plant out of retirement for CO2 free electricity to store all your "cloud" stuff. Oh brother!

Paul,
Do I have a deal for you! Today is your lucky day. With the purchase of the swamp land I'll even through in a full box of FB Bezos paper and a full box of Thiel warm tone paper at no extra charge.

Darn, I thought I had a buyer for my Florida land. Okay, enough already. Well, as it pertains to the price of paper I don't like it. All I know is that the current times are really hard on my photo hobby and my pocket book. Digital camera photography just might be the only affordable way out in the very near future. So sad!
