Ilford has made it clear that the other difference is that the postcard backing is no longer available but it will include a template on the pack for own printing. Not a major problem and anyway didn't someone here say that you can actually buy packs of ready made back which were presumably primarily aimed at those who wanted to buy "ordinary" 4x6 and use the postcard backs on them
Not quite the same as the new even heavier Portfolio paper perhaps but a lot cheaper an option Mike |

Quite logical to give the Portfolio the new emulsion. Good news that they keep the Portfolio at all.

There is already a short YouTube video on this new Portfolio paper by a guy on the Isle of Wight. His videos are called Shootlikeaboss. Ilford clearly released the new paper to him in advance so he could produce a video on the day of the announcement
This is not a plug for him but frankly his down-to-earth man in the street delivery is both bright and informative and I suspect more importantly it is what a newcomer might do when beginning b&w film and darkroom photography. I think his approach is what may appeal to newcomers to photography and clearly Ilford think likewise. If you are reasonably new to film photography and want to try anything and everything then I can clearly see why he appeals to others Anyway have a look at this video and his approach in other videos It may be worlds apart from how experienced old stagers might do things but frankly he "connects" and Ilford would appear to agree Mike |

Some of the branded label companies, like Avery, have templates on their web-sites, but I have found it easy enough to set up one of my own on a DTP package that I have used for years. To think that I used to spend time (badly) hand writing on the back of so many over the years. Now I only have to type it once and then copy and paste. Terry S |

Only problem is that I was looking for some this morning and I can't find any in any supplier that I checked, I will try a box of 9 1/2 by 12,

Thanks for the link Terry. That's him. I got it wrong Its Shootfilmlikeaboss not shootlikeaboss so sorry for that and apologies to him
I usually have a look at his videos. I like his open approach and his delivery. What you see is what you get, It's nothing fancy but his delivery style suits me Richard, I noted that you mentioned it was slightly heavier, presumably than the old Portfolio paper base but I could see no mention of this in any of the Ilford announcements. Can you say where this was mentioned Thanks Mike |

Mike, I too have either read it or heard it somewhere on Ilford's website, that it is of a heavier base, but I too can't seem to find exactly where.
I can't even remember if they actually gave a figure, but an extra 5 gsm isn't much though... Terry S |

I read it somewhere, but I can't honestly say where, it might even have been on a Photrio post, but thats a guess, I have never used portfolio, so I can't say I understand whayt all the fuss is about, from all I can find out it is simply the new MG5 emulsion on a slightly warmer and heavier base, but I would liken to try it for myself, but even today I simply can't find it anywhere, Portfolio isn't even listed in any form in most places, the execption is AG, but thyey list MG4 portfolio as out of stock, I am surprised at Ilford, I would have thought they would have shipped it to at least their bigger suppliers before this big anousement about so thatb folk can get it
