LOL Ilford includes a POSTCARD template in the release

That's because they are no longer offering the paper with pre-printed postcard back. The template isn't as good as the real thing, but at least they're acknowledging and trying to be responsive to those customers who were fans of the postcard product.

[Tin Can]

Agree

I got almost the last of NOS Postcard size 4X6

AMAZON had 20 boxes on the Ilford store, but it was on a closed LA Dealer eBay

then 13. minutes ago and 11 now as I bought 2 more

The trouble with stencil or drawing on the back of RC is plastic doesn't hold ink very well

Don't worry Oren, I will be buying the paper as well

ASAP

Heh, I'm slow sometimes... :o:p

Agree about the backprinting, RC is generally pretty picky about what pencils, inks, etc. it will take.

Any left-over IV is going to be pretty old stock at this point - it's been out of production for a while.

I seem to be specializing in old film, old paper and old everything else

I even have old Rodinol, a full case, several gallons of old TF5

old distilled water too

and my eyes are aging quickly

I cancelled Glaucoma surgery last week as I don't trust the old waiting room, old coughing people in it and really old doctors

all my LF lenses are old, my newest wood camera is my age

the good old days

Thanks for posting this. I use this every year for Christmas cards.

No doubt it is heavier and better paper

The big change is the filter grades, which won't require double times

but do we need new filters?

I use them handheld under lens

do we now use 1/2 time for 4 & 5
