Photographer's Formulary CD-4

I just checked. This place no longer sells CD-4. Searched their bulk chemical catalog and there is CD-2 but not CD-3 or CD-4. Not good.

Maybe try ArtCraft?

I did and yes Artcraft seems to have it still. Has anyone ever bought it there?

 

[OrientPoint]

I have. They're a good source.

Thanks for the confirmation. Just wondering where else can CD-3 and CD-4 be sourced from. It seems odd that there is only one place these most fundamental and critical chemicals can be purchased from while a large crowd of people of this forum talk about color darkroom and processing everyday.

Both CD-2 and CD-3 can be sourced directly from Eastman Kodak- in 25 kilo drums!

I recall the folks from ADOX mentioning that CD-4 apparently requires some special permits in the EU these days, and if that is the case, no doubt something similar applies in the US.

I ordered mine from Alibaba. I found a seller who was willing to ship a minimal quantity of 1kg. It was costly, but still attractive on a per-gram basis.
