Chinese new B/W multigrade paper
pic attached were hand printed by using lucky multigrade paper(D73)
I was very surprised that the result this new paper gave me.Very nice tone and deep dmax.It was newly produced recently by Lucky factor in China.
Actually the multigrade paper technique was known by Chinese film manufactuer.But they just produced it until now.
Seriously a review of a darkroom paper should measure its contract curve in every single grade.I'll do it later(Also translate the manual of this paper)
Its price is surely cheaper than foma and ilford. And I really hope to share it with darkroom friends in other countries.
Today I contacted the manufacturer and got their quotation. The price is higher than I expected, but if the order quantity is appropriate, plus shipping, taxes, etc., it may still be reasonable cheaper than Foma and Ilford.
But there are indeed problems.
And to achieve lower costs, it also requires large-scale qualified photo equipment dealers to import in large quantities.
But I still hope to share this photo paper with more individual darkroom photographers.
Secondly, it provides sizes from 5x7 to 20x24inches , 50 sheets of boxes each.
And also provide roll paper (100 rolls miniume),
1020mmx30m, 240mmx60m.
But because the MOQ of all specifications is very high (production will only be made after placing an order).
So temporarily, I think order made and share 10x12, matt (glossy, matt, silk are optional, if any type reaches the minimum order quantity, I will place an order for the factory to make) is the best idea.
After the MOQ is met and the order is placed in the factory (I will also find people who buy together in China). The larger the quantity, the more cost-effective the shipping cost will be. Of course, you can also share or sell privately (individual-to-individual) with friends in large group purchases.
As long as it is not imported or sold in the name of the company, there is no need to involve the issue of FSC
