Great shrink rate, has adhesive just like normal model films such as Solarfilm but is a fraction of the weight. Gloss or matt. Bad news is that it comes in 50 metre rolls, so club purchase only (or a lifetime of building !) Cheap at £17 a role. Might be worth scrounging sample at local pro photo finishers. UK supplier is Murodigital www.muro.co.uk based in Weston-super-Mare. They export to Europe dont know about rest of world. |
***Duncan,this must be the material I have seen the photo refinishers using in those open plan in-store labs,I wondered what it was at first,and now I know thanks to this ? next time I go and collect my prints I will ask the blonde behind the counter for a sample,it sounds like the modern equivalent of the old microfilm except without the hassle of floating dope etc on water,anyone remember that messy stuff ?
