Kodak Endura cut sheet project

[nickandre]

Is there any interest in coordinating cut sheets of Kodak paper/display material?

My inkling was that 16x20 or so would be a good size to coordinate since it can be split into 8x10 or cleaved off for test strip purposes.

I've always wanted to try the transparent display material but it seems prohibitive for an individual: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/592250-REG/Kodak_1105287_4732_Endura_Transparency_RA.html

I might be interested in some Endura, but I have no way to either store or cut down 16x20.

I found a guy that has the appropriate trimmer who was selling boxes on eBay. By my estimations 288 ft x 20 in of metallic surface will run $380 and produce 216 sheets at $1.75/sheet or $44 for a 25 sheet pack, plus labor, packing, shipping.

i have about 900 feet of endura in the freezer that i need to cut up. about 15 years ago +/- i anticipated the problem of not having cut sheets so i bought a used "rollma" which is 52" wide light tight roll paper cutter. i haven't ever gotten up the nerve to use it as i still have sheets left but will do so in the next few months. it's a beast, about 6ft long and super heavy. while i do have the manual, periodically i search for info on the rollma- very little to be found. i did find this: https://www.serranorey.com/used-refurbished-minilabs/772-rollma-52-paper-dispenser-cutter-.html. i also bought a paper cartridge that was from a minilab machine on ebay some time ago that a friend has used in his color dkroom that holds his roll of paper. he has done okay with it but it's not automated like the rollma. i am trying to attach a photo of the minilab cartridge but don't know how. best of luck with your project.

Is there still interest in this? I'd definitely purchase some cut endura

The only thing I’m not sure how to acquire is decent packing/shipping materials. Particularly large light tight bags. I figure 16x20 is a good size to ship.
