Slavich no longer on the US Market?

[Paul Howell]

It's been a year that I last ordered, but seems that both B&H and Adromdra are no long stocking, there is some old stock left but very limited. Wonder if the US santions is the issue, or other reasons? Need to look for replacment, too bad as I reallyliked the SW 11X14.

Oh, their web site is still up, lists papers in Euros. May very well be true.

I may be wrong about it being gone, just something I heard, but it is certainly not imported into the UK, but I have looked at their website and they are still llisting it, shame if it has gone as it is a pretty unique product

Reminded me of Agfa Brovia from the 70s, also still made a silk tetxured warm tone paper, I have 25 sheets in 8X10, guess I'll freeze it.

Not sure which variety you are looking for, but Bromportrait (the warm tone paper) has been discontinued by the manufacturer, with some stocks remaining here and there. Unibrom should be still around and is still available in Europe AFAIK.

Bernadette at Laser Impressions no longer has the US distribution, I purchased directly from Slavich at her recommendation. Got my SW contact sheet paper a few months ago. Pretty easy transaction, but slow-ish shipping.

Could you give some details about how you ordered? I'd be maybe interested in ordering directly too. Are there minimum quantities, etc.?

TIA

I went through Geola, and the whole process was pretty simple, even to get a less common size.

Why should there be any sanctions against the EU country Lithuania (that's where they are, according to their website)? Since 1990 independent from the (at the time) Sowjet Union, and since 2004 full member of the EU...

You probably misread the thread. Nobody said there were sanctions against Lithuania. The point is, Geola/Lithuania is not the manufacturer of Slavich paper. It is only an EU importer/distributor. The paper is manufactured by Slavich in Russia.

Ah, just saw on the Slavich website Lithuania, but this was the distributor's website then. Sorry...
