For Sale RA-4 Paper; 25-packs of 8x10 sheets; Larger sizes also available

[Aidan Sciortino]

I've got a large 10" wide roll of Kodak Endura, expired in 2024, with surface type "E", Lustre.

I'm selling packs of 25 8x10" sheets cut from the roll (by hand, so dimensions may be off by ~1/8") for $30 each, buyer pays shipping from 14620 to their location (in the US). I’m aware this cost is higher than other papers on the market; cutting with precision is quite time intensive however.

I'm also able to sell packs of 25 sheets of 8x10" Glossy Fuji Maxima (cut from a 16" wide roll), but these are more expensive at $40 each, due to material costs being substantially higher.

Other sizes and quantities can be arranged, but I'll need lead time to get packaging materials. Please send me a message if you're interested.

I'll cut these to order; I've got a lot of this paper left, and will buy another roll if necessary as I use it heavily in my workflow as well.

I've attached some photos I've printed on these papers.

That's cool; this is probably the last chance for people to ever print on Kodak Endura before the last of it starts to fog too badly. It's great you're sharing this with others! Good luck with the sale!

Hey I’d be interested in placing a fairly large order of the Kodak endura from you. How many sheets are you able to supply? I could be interested in a few hundred sheets potentially

Thanks for the reply! I've got stock on hand to cut around 800 8x10 sheets, and can acquire more from the same batch no problem. Cutting that many sheets will take me a few days though.

Oh rad, I would certainly do 100 sheets right now and test it out and if it works for me I’d probably order another few hundred sheets and reorder until you run out. How does the luster paper scan? I mostly print to scan for my final image.

I don’t know exactly how it scans on a flatbed, I can test that for you Monday. I’ve done a lot of copy photography of my prints with a digital camera and two light sources and it works great for that.

Drop me a DM and I can get 100 sheets in the mail for you next week.

I remember the endura paper being a very low texture luster compared to the Fuji type II, if it doesn’t scan well I probably won’t have a need for large batches but would still love a couple packs to print for fun or print for prints to gift to people

Understood. I'll put up an example Monday of what a scan looks like.

@arespencer I've attached a flatbed scan of an 8x10" endura print. Pardon the dusty scanner surface; that's a glitch on my end, no fault of the paper.

The Endura lustre surface is indeed more subtle than Fuji's - and IMO vastly superior, but that's a subjective opinion of course. It does mean that the Endura Lustre will probably be easier to scan on a flatbed; the Fuji paper can produce speckling in scans and would need to be digitized in a different way. The glossy variants of Fuji don't suffer from this issue.
