Single weight fiber papers today?

[-chrille-]

Are there any single weight fiber papers still manufactured today?

I printed on some old 8x10 Agfa Brovira single weight papers yesterday and I really like the feel of the thin papers. Any modern thin fiber papers available?

None that I know of. Would love to see one return to the market. It would be great for small photo album prints.

Six or seven years ago I used some Slavich graded, single-weight paper. It was the only kind I could find.
But that Russian brand has since disappeared from the US market, for whatever reason.

None that I know of manufactured today. I still have something more than 2,000 sheets of 8x10 grade 2 Azo and a couple of hundred in grade 3 on hand.

The Slavich SW was quite nice, easy mount.

My source for Single Weight papers is eBay: Kodak Kodabromide F. It tends to be OK even though expired. You are taking a chance though so don’t invest heavily when you see it.

Kodabromide is likely to be good if the grade is higher and the package is unopened. Grades 2 and lower will likely be fogged. Open packages --- you may as well assume someone rifled through them in daylight, because someone probably did.

Higher grades of Medalist are also a good option. Unlike Kodabromide, I find Grade 2 Medalist is relatively unfogged.

single weight was great for sticking photos in reports, but nobody needs to do that today.

Political sanctions and unlikely to be lifted under the current situation
