RE: Sterling contact paper?



Terry,

So did Kodak Ektalure <sp?>, along with some Agfa printing papers. Linda
Butler took advantage of the cadmium content of enlarging papers when she
printed the work for her project on Italy though they weren't Lith prints.

Some photographers still have stashes of these papers but they aren't
letting them go.

Hi Terry!
Forte, Sterling, had cadmium.  Forte I think took it out before 2000, or 
right around there because I talked with a Forte rep around that time at an 
SPE conference.  Kentmere did, too, and took it out after 1998 or so.
