Anyone know a source of 8x10 POP (Print out paper)?

Thanks

You have to make your own

You can buy the "Sunprint" paper. Not truly POP but better than nothing if that''s what you need...

Look up Chicago Albumen Works. They were the last maker of PoP; I believe that they have stopped producing it, but they may be of some help.

Yes, and the best deal is from https://www.teachersource.com where 3 packs (120 sheets total) of 7x5" is about $40, while B&H is more than twice as expensive. Kids love making shadowgrams with it.

Bostick & Sullivan stocks paper coated for the albumin process.

the maker was actually Kentmere in England...Ilford bought them and stopped making the paper afterwards

peter's right. Kentmere was the last company to produce POP paper commercially but as soon as Ilford / Harmon took over the business they made a lot of staff redundant and declared that the process was a "Health & Safety" hazard. This is a well known EEC excuse to stop any process that takes a bit of effort. It might become available again when The United Kingdom is free again in 2019.
