You might want to find someone that has a stock of the papers you'd like to try and see if you could talk them in to trading a few sheets - I've certainly got a box of Art 300 in the freezer along with a stack of other interesting papers.

There's an interesting idea. I really want to try some of the Ilford Art 300, and also Foma "Nature". I just had to buy in all fresh supplies of standard rc paper, so couldn't afford the considerable cost of a packet of either of these specialist papers right now.

I don't have any interesting papers to exchange, but would be happy to pay for 2 or 3 sheets of either of these papers at cost plus postage.

You can get the Foma paper in packets of ten sheets, for around £16, sadly the Art 300 is only available in packs of 30 sheets, but hasving recently used some it is indeed a very fine paper, but for the right subject, it won't work for everything, for still life type subjects lovely, for some landscapes it works, for others it won't work,
