Bulk discounts ?
Does anyone know of any UK dealers offering bulk discounts on film & paper, Ilford preferably.

Good question. I used to see the odd discount from Mr Cad in the old days but only to the extent of say 500 sheets of 5x7 for quite a bit less than 5 x 100 sheets and there are small discounts for say 10 pack 120 film but this may be "small beer" amounts in your terms, Ian.

Silverprint used to offer bulk discounts on Ilford films and I always ordered from them, with that discount gone I shop around.
I'm ready to place a large order for paper and some film and have to decide whether to switch to Ilford Warmtone paper as my stock of Polywarmtone is running low or switch to Fomatone 131 which I'd buy from the Continent. Ian |

I wanted a few chemicals late last year and rather than order online, telephoned Process Supplies - On asking, they gave me a substantial discount over the web price.
If you are after a sizeable quantity, it is always worthwhile asking whoever you decide to order from. |

Ian, I trust you have experience of the Ilford Warmtone? It is a really nice paper with a wonderful ability to separate the highlight values. It takes a sepia tone really well, but (personally) I don't think it suits selenium at all. You'll also hear some users say it works in lith. Again, it might for some but I reckon it's too muddy and lacks the variety of colours you'll see from some other papers.
I have no experience with the Foma by way of comparison |

Ilford Warmtone has similar flexibility compared to Polywarmtone and now it's on a white base suits the ways I print, I had no problems with Selenium toner I was very happy with the prints. Ian. |
