Who sells Film positives at a good price.
« on: June 24, 2019, 09:26:43 AM »
While we are eventually getting an I-Image, I am still using films positives at the moment. I have to order more film, and I'm checking to see who the leaders are in clear film, with good prices that are waterproof.  I've ordered from Ryonet in the past, but had found an inexpensive yet good film for one of the shops I had been at..but don't remember there name/info.


We use the sheets and AccuRip with the Epson 1430. Not that I love that. Ha!


Thanks!!

Yep, Fixxons seem to have outlasted their two other rivals, InkjetFilmDirect, and InkjetFilm.net. Good pricing, free shipping, just not the clear non-waterproof lower D-Min that many used to use.

Thanks all,

Darrel, that is who I sued before that I was looking for and couldn't remember the name.  If only they had a banner here. ;)

We use Image Supply Source out of Buffalo, though they do have a warehouse in Mass so it arrives the next day. $69.00 for  14" x 100', $11.00 or so freight. However, we used Fixxons for quite a while, good product and prices, and I think freight was free? Yes, I do know better, but I think it was rolled in...

My favorite films (in order):

#1:  Epson film https://epson.com/m/S450132
It's expensive, but I check eBay and the internet for sales.  I buy the 17" x 100' (for my Epson 4880 & 4800) for around $65 through several internet retailers, and the occasional $40 score on eBay.  I cut these down for when I had to use the old 1430. 

#2: Ryonet Rite film.  Expensive, but at Black Friday buy one get one free, that's the time to buy several.  (worked out to $45 at 17"x100' roll each).

#3: Fixxons...always a good price, but seems a bit thinner that the above 2.

I have a couple of rolls of inkjetfilmdirect sitting in the closet....they were good until I used the above 3.

I like film direct online as well. Good films for the most part. I had one batch that was cut inconsistently but they replaced them right away.

I just bought some from GoldUp at the recommendation from a YouTuber. 
I had to adjust droplet weight by 1 point in Accurip, but other than that it has worked well for spot jobs. 

You can find it on Amazon.
