New Enlarging Papers Available at Freestyle

There are so few reasonably priced graded papers available in NYC that it has become a real problem for my photography work.  I've put in an order to Freestyle in Los Angeles to purchase 25-sheet packages (grade 2) of three new papers that they are offering.  All three are reasonably priced at $14.99 per package.

The first is called Slavich Unibrom FB 160, a matte double weight paper made in Russia.   The second is Slavich Bromoportrait 80, another double weight paper, but this one with a "glossy embossed (silk)" finish.  The third is Fotokemika Emaks K-888 FB, a double weight glossy-finish paper.  This one actually seems the most interesting because Freestyle notes that it is the "same as Nuance brand and Cachet Expo RF graded fiber-base photographic papers." 

I should be receiving the papers this week and hope to test them in the darkroom soon.  In the meantime, the links above go to Freestyle product pages where further links can be found to the spec sheets for each paper.  What's encouraging is that I note 100-sheet boxes of these papers have already sold out and are back ordered.
