It's 12 years since I moved house and built my current darkroom.

I began it's first real full Spring clean in those yesterday, loads of cobwebs, huge drowned spiders, etc. But I had to take stock my materials, we will forget film for now. I have a large stock of fresh Ilford Warmtone paper mostly 16"x12", some 20"x16"

But over the last 2 o 3 years I've added:

I should say at very little cost. That's 10 50 sheet boxes of 20"x16" paper, and then some 10 sheet packs, and maybe 20+ sheets Bergger Prestige Gd 3 not shown. There's also 2 100 sheet boxes of 16"x12" at the top.

I have used some of the Cooltone papre, it's perfect, the current price is £297.49 a box of 20x16 . . . . . . . . Frightening.

There's more paper under the wet bench.

are you selling any 16x12?
 
If you ever decide to sell your Kodabrome IIRC paper, I'd be interested. I use it for paper negatives and for lith printing.
 
Lith printing is such fun, you never quite know what you’re going to get with the variably beautiful old stock papers. Royal Bromesko is my current favourite along with some very very thin Kodak airmail paper from the 40’s or 50’s
