Some time ago, I got a great deal on some 24" wide RA-4 Kodak paper. I wanted 20x24" sheets. I had to cut the paper pretty accurately because my processor is 20" wide- actually about 20.5". I set up an 8' table in my darkroom, clamped down my paper cutter, and put some tape on the table at the 20" point. I cut notches in the roll paper box and put a pipe through the core of the roll and rested the pipe in the notches. About an hour later, I had the entire roll cut down. Be sure to have some music on, because it's a very boring task!

How about cutting down the sheets (to exact size) after the paper has been processed? I used roll stock for several years at a lab: 30", 40" & 50". I never tried to get it perfect in the dark - I cut it oversized, processed, then was able to do the final cut in the light. Handling roll stock can be tricky: hands must be clean (to avoid fingerprints) and it becomes very easy to get half-moon kinks from careless handling.Hello, even I heard it today. I was in the shop for the Endura 30x40 and I was told that it is not available anymore in sheets only on rolls. I find rolls difficult to work with. Going in the darkroom for cutting al the paper and then putting it in boxes to get it flat. Is there a good alternative for this? I live in Belgium/Europe.

And I always wanted to try E100GX. Another sigh.=============================================================================================================To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
