Is there a source for purchasing backing paper?

[eharriett]

I’m rolling my own 126 and 127 film. 126 cartridges I can get, 127 spools I can get, but I really need a better stock of backing paper. Does anyone know of a place that is collecting and selling these? Even everyone’s favorite auction site doesn’t seem to offer those up.

Thanks.

I have a few 120 backing papers you are welcome to for postage if that helps.

Thanks. I save every 120 paper (and spool). I’m not hurting for those. I’ve been cutting 127 from it, but was hoping for a place to get the real thing. And 126 is a problem.

Other than cutting down 120 paper, just keep reusing the 127 papers you have. Also buy up whatever 127 film you can so you can have a bigger paper stash.

Each year Ilford does a special production run of unusual large format film sizes, and markets the results through a few dealers.
In previous years they have offered long rolls of backing paper as part of that process.
Those rolls are quite expensive.

But worth it if you have a need for a hard to find format.

I'll have to look for that. I assume B&H is one of those dealers.

Here is last year's info: https://www.ilfordphoto.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ULF-dealer-and-item-list-2017.pdf
B&H would be unlikely. The dealers tend to be the smaller organizations that one would go to for service and assistance.

Check with FreeStyle to see if they handle the orders. Also when Ilford posts that they are taking orders they also list the places that will handle the orders and sales.

Oh cool! My local shop in Ohio is on that list!
