Been reading 'some' of the discussion, perhaps it has been discussed, perhaps not...
The closest to 8x10 i can get is 18x24cm x-ray sheets. Would these fit in an 8x10 holder? It would appear to be a little short. Perhaps there is an exact fit for 8x10 holder?
Thanks.

8x10 film is available, and fits an 8x10 holder perfectly.

I think you're both assuming the poster lives in the USA, I'm guessing not, ZZ Medical won't ship outside the U.S. to my knowledge.

124G what country are you in, and have you checked eBay? Sometimes you can get x-ray film there in 8x10. Good luck!

Quick question, there doesn't seem to be an exact size for 8x10 holders, is there an approximate size that would fit without cutting the film? Thanks.

You must have missed my reply in the other thread.

The film size you want is 8x10, there are MANY X-Ray films that are cut to 8x10 size.

The other sizes available are NOT for 8x10, there is some labeled 20cm x 25cm that's also the same and will fit in 8x10 film holders.

Hope that helps, look on eBay, there's TONS of it.

I get my green or blue xray off fee bay, try chimedsupply (Chicago medical supplies), the have green and blue 8x10, 10x12. They will combine postage, I bought three boxes of 10x12 which will fit into one post pack and saved myself $60 on postage to Australia. Goodluck

Hi Thanks guys

I live in the UK, so perhaps shipping might be expensive, plus i would have to pay customs duty as well but I must admit $80 US for 100 sheet, wow, this is value!

I contacted these people http://www.photon-imaging.com/, very helpful but they charge 80 sterling + VAT (20%) so that's a bit more but shipping would be less obviously. Only problem is the nearest they have to 8x10 is 18x24cm. I've just order 2 8x10 holders so I'll be checking if that would fit but I have a bad feeling.

So ideally I'd love to find a supplier in the UK that advertises 8x10 as a size. Thanks asx 810 for the offer, I might give you a shout if I can't find anything locally.

Knock knock, anyone in the UK who might be aware of a supplier of 8x10 xray films?

Thanks guys.
