Ilford Postcard paper has arrived in the US.....Kinda...

[Mark Fisher]

Time for an ignorant question ...... what is the difference between the Ilford Postacrd paper and their regular RC paper? I have a bunch of 5x7 and would just as soon cut that down given the price difference (-:

Yes, the paper is Portfolio RC paper cut to 10x15cm and printed on the reverse.

No reason why you should not use normal RC. Use Portfolio weight by preference as it is thicker, but the normal stuff seems to survive the post OK.

Cheers, Bob.

I have the same problem, so I'm still using up my stock of normal RC paper for the postcard round. I put a large lable on the back to stiffen it; this also allows my to type details as noone would ever by able to read my handwriting.
