I used to buy Fuji Crystal Archive paper from the germans
(macodirect.de)
https://www.macodirect.de/en/paper/color-papers/ until
it was no more available (if I got it right, the factory in Europe was
shut down) and then I got from the UK the very same paper, but in 20X25
(8X10") it cost me 120 euros with S&H duties etc. much cheaper than
Ilford B&W paper even from Athens! Paradox! Now they got this paper,
they're supposed to buy the master rolls "from a large manufacturer",
probably Fuji again which is the last manufacturer of chromogenic paper,
and is then cut in Germany in various sizes, including the elusive 40*50 (16*20") in much better prices than the UK vendor. The problem is supply doesn't meet demand, it's all sold out, as you can see. Ditto for Velvia
50, it was available for a couple of days, and then kaput! I got the
Bellini RA4 kit which lasted me exactly a year, since March 2024.
