Re: Buxton paperMany thanks to Amanda & Christina confirming that what I now know
and giving additional interesting information / adresses / experiences.
Yes, I noticed the same problem as Amanda discribed but in my case
with the palladium print out process as discribed by Mike Ware in
Ag+ Photographic.
I had this problem only with a few prints, other prints made on the same
paper sheetscleared perfectly and now 5 years later are still absolutly
white. So I guess my problem was caused by slight changes in my
processing the prints or overworked clearing bath.
It's 5 years ago and I never again did any kind of alt. photo process work,
but will start again when getting the first new batch of Buxton
:-)
Kind Regards
Stefan

You can order the paper from Jon Purcell, 15 Rumsey Road, London, SW9 OTR. Telephone: 44 (0) 207 737 5199. A small paper maker in France makes the Paper and you would need to make an arrangement with Jon Purcell and negotiate a minimum order and then he will sell the rest. Maybe 150 to 200 sheets (a guess). I spoke to them earlier this year about getting a batch made, however, I had problems clearing the paper for the develop out pt/pd., so I did not pursue this. It is expensive, however I think if you are making a large enough order to warrant a new batch being made then I believe the price would be lower than the £5 to £6 a sheet that it was sold for in the shops. Since it is a handmade paper the cost is higher than a machine mould made paper. If you contact Mike Ware he may have some sheets left, he sold me a sheet earlier this year for £5. I am sure someone on the list must have his email address.
It is a beautiful paper and the person who makes the paper is a very fine paper maker who was based in England and moved to France some years ago. I once visited his paper mill and his papers are exquisite. Jon Purcell is his distributor.
Best wishes
Amanda Lane.

Hi everybody
After 4 years of film and video work and being 'off-list',
I've just started again with my photographic work.
Years ago I had a paper called Buxton.
I remember that this paper was originally designed by Mike Ware
for platinium / palladium processes but I used it for carbon transfer
with extra sizing before use.
Had never again a paper producing such 'velvet like' carbon prints
like this mold made paper.
Question is, if this paper is still available and who does distribute it
(german market, but mailorder would be o.k. as well)?
Was looking for Mike Ware on the Web, but only got some manuals
of him.
Additionally to that, any other ideas or sources for hand made papers
(from small paper mills or paper makers) suitable for carbon or platinium
would be fine.
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Stefan
