I've received sample rolls from the Mountain Studio folks and rest
assured, it's the same as the letter-size sheets of Pictorico OHP Film.
Their source is the same (Japan) as for Pictorico themselves.

The contact for the 17"X66' rolls is Tim Gillespie. You can email Tim at
media@uncletim.com for more info. I don't have a phone number but if you
email Tim, odds are he'll be glad to call you or provide his number.

And of course, you can also order it from Pictorico at www.pictorico.com/.

And a heads-up for purchasers of the letter-size of Pictorico OHP film. I
got a bad batch that would exhibit pin holes in areas of D-max when
printed with the Piezography Quadtone pigments. These pin holes resulted
in black specks in highlights. The bad batch number (stamped on the
Pictorico package) is 8HA93. Though this lot may work just fine for
dye-based printing, it blows for pigments. This is the first bad lot I've
come across with this fine product.

Got some 9.5"x19" platinum prints on the drying screens right now and
they look sweet. This is exactly where we've been wishing digital would
take us! Can you possibly imaging a more exciting time in photography?

Best,

Dan
