Arista, but for a few bucks, you can buy Ilford.

Thanks, Dave O.

Did some more research on prices.
Ilford works out to $1.53 a sheet in a 250 box.
Working on a big project and will need that much.
B&H or Adorama $382. for 250 sheets of 11x14 FB VC Gloss

I have used it Dave, and it did it's job and to me the final results looked good.
What more can we ask for?

However I don't have any samples at the moment, and don't own a scanner anyways. So I can't post samples.

Probably 11x14" is a USA-only size, regarding popularity. The popular equivalent in Europe is about 12x16", approximately 30x40cm.

The unavailability suggests that Adorama aren't selling enough of that size to have it specially cut, packaged and imported and/or the European manufacturer (Foma I think) are not able to sell enough to 'Adorama-plus-rest-of-world' in that size and/or there is a temporary stock 'glitch' so Adorama will announce that size again 'due to popular demand' when the next container hits the dock.
