Title: UK paper prices for Canson
Post by: mvandenbos on February 21, 2011, 04:46:41 pm: Hi guys

Just wondering if I can call on your collective wisdom to source the best prices for some 17/24 inch rolls of both
Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag and Canson® Baryta Photographique 310gsm? I've found prices around 97 pounds + VAT for the 17 inch and about 125 + VAT for the 24 inch

Many thanks

Mehdi

Also at 'Fotospeed' if Firstcall is out of stock. More expensive though.

Good luck,
Brian

I can't find the best price. ???

Any other EU online shop with good prices? :)

It seems a good reseller, however I had to send an email to get an estimate of the shipping cost for 50 A3+ sheets.
It's so "2002" to ask for it instead of having ready made estimates for weight/european country.
Still waiting for a response... ::)

Well I am afraid that is a UK thing, we do not really 'get' the web here just yet. Really good ecommerce sites are a minority in the UK (private and govt sector) and I am afraid the dpsb is no exception - it is poorly designed and its speed is glacial - but worth it once conquered.

I certainly do not buy fine art paper every day... nor every week... nor every month... well; you get the point :)
I'm happy to wait a couple of days if that translates in a good purchase.

I hope not to go OT but... what about Ilford paper?
I get 50 sheets of Gold Fibre Silk for 92€ (w/out S/H) here in Italy. Any better price abroad? :)
