Ilford papers
The resurgence of traditional black & white photography continues as photographers seek escape from the all-pervasive computer monitor and seek something a bit more hands-on.

With new products emerging every month, The Darkroom UK Ltd is an established professional outlet now selling photographic materials online, though you are welcome to place an order by phone if your computer is giving you a really bad day!
The new online products page lists a range of keenly priced Ilford goods but director Barrie Roberts hopes to include further items as demand dictates.

The company is seeing more BW processing too, printed either digitally or in their traditional darkrooms, that cater for resin-coated and fibre base prints plus toning under the watchful eye of renowned printer Alistair Baird.
If you only need your film processed then the choices remain, with either machine or hand-line developing up to 8”x10”.
