Shanghai B&W Paper

[Ian Grant]

Have had a trial box of new Shanghai B&W paper arrive today, 20 sheets of 7"x5". Not sure yet whether it is VC or fixed grade, the paper arrived in the UK along with new stock of Shanghai GP3, just waiting to hear back with more info before I test it.

Thank you Ian. I look forward to your assessment.

Looking forward to hearing about your test results, Ian I wonder if this is the same stuff on which there was a thread about on Photrio a few months ago?

I can't even recall the name of the thread unfortunately

Thanks Ian. I re-read all of the thread to which I referred. It seems that Lucky paper is/was old stock from Inkpress which is not a Chinese company at all as far as I can see. So is Shanghai paper made in China and represents another source of new b&w darkroom paper?

Thanks
