Want to Buy WTB old fiber paper, fog does not matter

[Erik Petersson]

If you have old fiber paper, I would like to buy it. Long forgotten, decades old, fogged, opened in direct light does not matter to me, as I plan to use it for alternative processes. I have had great results with paper from the 1960-ies and 1930-ies. I would prefer sizes from about 20x30 cm and up. I am based in Stockholm, Sweden.

Thanks!

Hello Erik,
I have five packages of 25 sheets Ilfobrom Galerie 1.1K double weight. Four are still sealed one has a broken seal but not opened. I assume this is a grade 1.
I'd like $15.00 plus actual shipping for it.
I don't know if it would be worth your while to ship it, The post office doesn't seem to have an inexpensive alternative to priority mail
any longer and that, if it fits a medium box is $48.00

I have thousands of sheets of grade 1 PAL (efke) 11 X 14 FB that expired in the 90s, but shipping it would be an awful amount.

I have a box at school. Have a darkroom class tomorrow night and will see if I have anything else.
You can have it for shipping cost

Thanks John, that is generous of you! It does not seem so expensive after all if they fit into the medium box. How large are the sheets, by the way?

Hi chip and thanks! Well, thousands of sheets would be too much for me anyway. Perhaps I could buy some of them? A hundred sheets would be a lot for this project anyway.

Thanks Ann! What kind of paper is it? The size matters to me, they need to be not too small to be useful for this project.

 

[Erik Petersson]

Thank you all! A friend and I are planning to do a number of larger lumen prints, so I am interested in what happens with the paper if it is left in the light or in the sun for a couple of hours. That's why some fog is of no consequence for this project.

Lumen prints are photograms made in the sun for a couple of hours or so, and then fixed. Amazing colours appear with some papers.

I think 5x7. However. I have other boxes of 8x10'thstbhavevbeen hanging around. I will check on the fog level tomorrow

Ann, the 8x10 might be interesting, but not the smaller size.

I've got some old AGFA Classic Matt, including an on-opened box of 20x24. Any interest?

Hi Arthurwg, thanks. I suppose that is 20x24 cm, right, not inches? A bit on the small side, perhaps. Is the paper warm tone? What would the cost be, if you include shipping to Sweden?

[Arthurwg]

Np Erik, this is 20 x 24 inches. 50 sheets. Not warm tone. My favorite paper back in the day. No idea what it might cost to ship.

Arthurwg, are you based in the US? I will be traveling there, in the northeast, in July. Perhaps we can think of something?
20x24 inches, nice!

 

[Erik Petersson]

Hello,
I will be in NYC from tomorrow, for approximately one week. If anyone of you live there, I might try to come by and buy some paper. Thanks!

Thanks!

Just for my education really. If paper has been opened in direct light( daylight, I presume) what alternative process can still be used?

Thanks

For lumen printing. The paper is exposed in the sun (or other uv-source i suppose) for many minutes or hours so a short exposure to daylight makes no difference.

Lumen printing, of course. This should have struck me. It had fallen beneath my radar Thanks
