Perhaps I will finally give the single-sided a try - if it results in less scratching then that's a win overall. I see Carestream Green is $58 for 100 sheets at zzmedical (or buy 2 boxes and it's $55 each). Anywhere cheaper? I hadn't priced Ilford Delta in a while since I had a few boxes in the freezer but I see at B&H it's $120 for 25 sheets...
Edit: oops! I guess that Carestream film is double-sided from what I read elsewhere. I'm not that up on the single-sided stuff.
That link is to 2X. I tried correcting Pepe's link yesterday.
This is 1X https://www.zzmedical.com/analog-x-r...ideo-film.html
All X-Ray is up in price. The one you linked to was once under $40.
I find ZZ the best and cheapest source.

But, $1 a sheet is still not bad, and about 1/5 the price of Delta 100. Let's not even discuss Kodak...
PS: Have you ever requested a "quote" instead of just purchasing from ZZ? One supplier I work with (A/V gear) gives about 20-40% off almost everything in their shop if you just request a quote. They want the business.
No, but I bought a 500 sheet case of 1X 14X17 and was given a 10% discount as first time buyer. I had to ask for it.
I actually was not first time and they knew that, as I had bought smaller amounts of 2X for a big order they gave it.
ZZ is a small Iowa Biz run by 2 very nice people. Call them.
When I bought the case, they had to find it, and that was 4 years ago.
I also bought 500 case of 1X 8X10. at less than current prices.
I may buy more, by the case.
Because it ships inside an outer box and survives shipping better.
The clock is ticking on all X-Ray film...

I'm going to try to take a lot of 8x10 portraits this summer, as I'm not sure how much longer I can afford the studio. My class load has been cut (again) for next year.
Peter - if there's a big discount let us know. I wouldn't mind splitting a case with someone(s). Randy, were the cases individually packaged in 100-sheet boxes? I assume so.
Yes, 5- 100 sheet boxes. It's 100 sheets per box packed in one tear away bag. A thin single box which loads from one end.
The 8X10 ships in 1, 2 or 3 boxes OK.
The 14X17 is heavier and needs the case box.
I bought one box of 14X17 and it darn near came out of the flimsy box.
