    a source for(really BIG) ULF x-ray film!

    I've got to try cutting this stuff down to 12x20!

    If you also do 11x14, 30x35 would be a great size. 28cents/12x20 (two per sheet), plus two free 11x14's, or 17cents/12x20 (cutting three 12x20's)

    Otherwise the 24x30 would be 18cents/12x20 (two per) -- a better deal if shipping and handling bumps up the cost of the 30x35 significantly.

    Have fun!

    It looks like they also offer 24x30" @ $35.80/100 sheet box. If you're only using it for 12x20, you would have less waste with this option.
    I have a 12x20 and a Rotatrim. We look forward to your feedback!

    I suspect those are centimetres.
    the biggest x-ray available size seems to be 14"x36", enough for cutting one 12x20, two 8x10 and three 4x5 from every sheet.

    It shows the quotation symbol (") after each dimension.
    This symbol is commonly used to represent inches.

    24x30 and 30x35 are most commonly found as metric sizes in x-ray film.
    plus, if you compare their price, it would make little sense if they were really all inches... buy double size and you save 25%...too good to be true

    14"x17" 100/box $72.95

    I'm pretty sure is typo. There is no X ray film out there bigger than the 14in x36 in , if so I would be all over it. I wish they can run some 20x24 in. Either green or blue they will work best with Alternative process. Please keep me posted if you hear the 20x24in Xray in production. That would be awesome!

    Something larger than 14x36 would have to be for veterinarian applications. I looked at x-ray cassettes, and 14x36 is the largest made. A person could make a holder which holds two sheets, though, with that 3M tape in the center to keep the film in place.
