FIVE ROLLS of 8"x 150'? I can picture it: I imagine half a case of Home
Depot toilet paper. You know what would be really cool, would be to rig up a
take-up spool so you could haul an entire roll into the field. It would look
like a giant cassette of 110 film, with the camera situated between the two
spools. Just shoot, advance, shoot again. Boy, you could be doing 7x17"
continuously w/o having to change paper for -- 100 images!!!!! I can see it
now: "Andy Schmitt, Winogrand of large format pinhole..."

Hi all
As I am known to do, I just purchased 5 rolls of something I had never heard
of from Ebay... 'cause it was cheep!
What I got this time was Kodak Pagi-Set RC Phototypesetting paper. 8"x150'
rolls ...
Was I surprised when I noticed it was processed under a #1 (red) safelight.
Stuck it under an 8x10 negative & did a test strip & processed it in Dektol
1:2. Low & behold I actually got a stable image. This stuff is like having
single weight RC paper with a matt finish so...
Looks like paper negative time.
I'll let you know what happens... If you ever get a chance to get some, try
it.
Ow yes... Don't get Linagraph Direct paper... (Cat 198 6520) ... it doesn't
appear to be sensitive to White light at all...man do I have a bunch too...
it comes in 12"x400' rolls.
Well enough of this.
Have a great weekend
