Some of you love the smell of fresh fixer in the morning. Me, I love the smell of... fresh fiber-based paper!

I have a rotary trimmer, so instead of buying a box of each of the sizes I use, I buy 50-sheet boxes of 11x14. Twenty sheets I leave in the box. The other thirty sheets get cut up into 7x10's and 5x7's, with a bunch of 1x7 strips left over, for tests.

There's nothing better than spending an hour in the morning with a fresh cup of tea, and a fresh box of MGIV.

I LOVE PAPER! :smile:

Don't you?

As this is on the color forum, I have to add that:

I LOVE the smell of Kodak RA-4 developer!

I have a soft spot for the sulfury smell of exhausted fixer. Smells like work.

If you look to the bottom left corner of any post, there is a little "!" in the middle of a dark triangle.

I love the paper smell too. Agfa Brovira was especially nice.

Yes, I agree. I just picked up a 100 sheet box of 8x10 and 50 sheet box of 16x20. I'm loving forward to all sorts of smells this afternoon.

I can't help but instantly smell the plastic film box of any film I open up. I probably look stupid doing it in public but I can't help it, smells so nice...

Thank you, request posted.

I only managed to cut up the first of two boxes yesterday. The second one awaits...

Another fine morning of tea and paper! :smile:
