I know I can still get large resin-coated black and white paper
on rolls. However, I'm looking for a tolerable (that is,
preferably not Ilford, no matter who's selling it this week)
fiber-base paper in sizes larger than 20x24.

I know I'll pay through the nose. But does _anyone_ still
sell this?

Forte sells rolls 42" x 33 ft Fiber based semi matte and glossy.
We import it and the minimum is 4 rolls cash in advance with
no cancellation if you buy it direct, at one point K&M camera in
NYC would purchase a lot of the paper from us and would keep it on
hand. If your interested I can provide you additional details.

Do you know if K&M still has it, and if so, if they have it fresh?

I can't imagine I will have a need for four rolls any time soon,
particularly if the material is the warm-tone paper and not the
Bromofort. Is it graded, or VC?

I have had mixed experiences with K&M in the past; they're not bad
folks, but when there have been supply issues with various materials
only they stock (or only they stocked at the time), they've sold me
stuff that I thought was perhaps a bit past its prime. Of course,
these were materials I couldn't get _anywhere_ else (e.g. semimatte
Bromofort in c. 1993) so perhaps I should have been a bit more
careful, myself.
