Wephota a Germany trader of BW material has a huge variety of papers in the catalogue, someone of you have experiences with these papers?
Some seems recognizable as products coming from well know EU producers others look very interesting but completely unknown.
More info available from some users?
Comparison with others types of paper?
Thanks
Daniele

Hi Daniele. I have tried their graded baryta paper, it felt like Kentmere's Bromide. I think they rebrand several Kentmere products, I am not really sure about it, though.

They let making some of their papers by Foma.
Forte is also one of their suppliers and indeed maybe Kentmere as well. But they can cut and pack papers themselves. In the past they were making the OrWo photopapers so they have a lot of paper experience.

Regards,

Robert

Their technical data sheet for Wephota Baryt Brillant BB is identical to the data sheet for Foma Brom.

By the way, does anyone know a source for Kentmere Bromide Grade 3 (which is called Grade 4 in USA and has an ISO R of 60) in Europe, maybe under a rebranded name? Kentmere only sells Grade 2 (ISO R 80) in Europe.
