Ilfochrome discontinued?

[diegobuono]

<p>Hi all,<br>

browsing the Ilford web site it seems that Ilfochrome (aka known as Cibachrome) is discontinued. Do you you know for sure if this is true or not? Probably it will be available for a limited, in fact (and luckily) I just have had some prints from my trusty lab in Italy but certainly I will miss it in the future.</p>

<p>I think Ilford made the last run a time back and even took special orders.</p>

[walter_degroot]

<p>I do not know fore sure but one of the Kodak Gurus talked about an alternate way to make paper ( wet) prints from slides.</p>

<p>It may be gone, but did you check the correct Ilford website? Because I think a few years ago Ilford basically got split in two, and I'm not sure which side got the Cibachrome business.</p>

<p>Larry, you need a new keyboard (or less beer).</p>

<p>Sorry it was late that night. No beer I can assure you. :-)</p>

<p>Yes, it is true. There was an official statement by the producer, Ilford Suisse.<br>

But the last production run has been quite huge. The material is still available, stocks should last until the next year. Some professional labs using Ilfochrome have stocked up as well to serve their customers for a longer time.<br>

If you want to use Ilfochrome, than now is the time to go for it.</p>

<p>It might be better to ask the labs there is one in warrington they will know for sure sad of it's true</p>

[manuel_odabashian]

<p>Just had a browse on widepekia if that's the correct spelling and yes it has been discontinued very sad i will be placing a fairly large order with a printer now </p>

[larrydressler]

<p>As with all things we still have horses but we will only have limited Ciba/Ilford Chrome. I used to remember self flashing the paper to tone down contrast in the 70s then later it was sold preflashed.<br>

Scanning and RA prints took over and I still don't get the Huge Inkjet printers but I used to enlarge a 35mm to 20x24 and do it in a homemade tank from Black PVC pipe.</p>

<p>Does anybody know where Ilfochrome stiil can be bought in Europe? I tried several sites (http://www.fotomayr.de, ag-photographic.co.uk), but it is hardly to find anymore nowadays. In US I only know of http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ .</p>

<p>It really is a pity Ilfochrome is disapearing.</p>

[larrydressler]

<p>This may be a long shot but maybe you can contact Ilford and see who they sent the last shipments to.</p>

<p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3830557">Gerber van der Graaf</a> : Chemicals are available in Fotoimpex (fotoimpex.de)</p>

[gerber_van_der_graaf]

<p>I tried to order chemicals at a german provider (fotomayr.de). The problem is that they cannot ship chemicals outside of Germany. So I will pick it up personally or ask a local shop near my living place to order. Some contacts with the provider for the Benelux (beukelaer) learned me that chemicals are still available, but paper at other sizes than 20x25cm are disappearing.<br>

It really is a pity that this unique paper in its kind has disappeared.<br>

Thanks anyway for the responses.<br>
