Hi Bob, and thanks.
No, I haven't really thought about trading, since I think the paper may be
too old to be of any real use. But I guess I could ask someone, or maybe
just give them away for free to someone who at least wants to give them a
try.
Thanks also Godfrey and P.J. - yes, you may be right about wasting time and
the trouble to fixate it just to get some white paper which still may be
rather useless.
I will be glad to get the boxes though, I always thought they were nice,
fairly sturdy and well designed...
Thanks,
Lasse

Lasse,
Hi, nice to see you posting.
Have you considered trading the paper for some prints.
Can you find someone who is still running a wet darkroom and printing
service?
Would they take paper in trade for some printing?
Regards, Bob S.

Lasse -
I made a hell of a mess trying to print with my inkjet on an old piece
of
Ilford multigrade
RC.
Hi Ann,
What kind of mess did you make? Did the ink and the printer get messy?
You could take up painting, perhaps :)
Yes, I have done some and have been thinking of doing some more of that.
However I don't know if photographic paper is well suited for being
painted
on.
Thanks,
Lasse

Yes.
Sorry if I used the wrong term. I don't mean modern paper made for
like
inkjet or laser printing, but plain old photographic paper for making
regular prints in a darkroom.
In that case, it's unlikely that they will be any use for inkjet
printing. But you could try.....
I would just give them a go in the normal way of printing. It might
be
worth researching some recipes for contemporary developer for the
older
papers. Test strips first.
Well, I don't have any darkroom set up and neither does it seem that I
will be getting any, although I have been thinking that I might...
It's just that I keep thinking about what a great picture coould be
realized on this empty paper...
Maybe I'll just frame one empty paper and I and anyone can project
their
hopes and ideas to it.
I guess I just like the paper as such so much.
Anyway, the boxes are nice and while thinking it over some further I
might start with separating the boxes from the papers and make some
good use
of them.
There's a guy buying an enlarger lens from me, I might ask if he wants
the papers for free.
Thanks,
Lasse
