What about 10 x 8 X-ray film? Especially as most of it has emulsion on both sides?

Haven't tried Xray film with emulsion on both sides. It might work since the film isn't held firm against the bottom of the tray.

We've been testing with 4x5 and 5x7: https://shop.stearmanpress.com/blogs/news/testing-testing-and-more-testing

Here's the executive summary for those that don't want to bother with the details (click here for all the details):
1. It doesn't look like the SP-8x10+ will reach its funding goal.
2. We're planning to put it into production anyway.
3. The retail production price will probably be around $140-$150/each.
4. You can still get in on the $123 price, if you sign-up before March 11th (click here to back the project)

The crowdfunding campaign was supposed to end at midnight, March 11th.

However, you may have noticed that the countdown timer was still ticking away this morning, clearly in violation of the space/time continuum. (If you had refreshed your browser, it always started over with two days; 01:18:19 remaining.)

Okay, we probably should have noticed the error earlier. To be honest, we find the situation a bit humorous, this is a minor glitch compared to the other problems we’ve had with the software.

If you thought you had two days left to sign up and still want to, go ahead. The "back this project" button is still live.

Frankly, we’re focused on the next prototype and will be publishing an updated schedule soon. And we’ll pay extra attention to the calendar.
