Rolland,
I'm interested in a bulk supply of HIE cut down to 60 mm to fit 120
rolls. It must be an easy job to roll the film into the black protecting
paper. However you might give me some advice or tips how to do this. 

I must have missed your message about this subject due to my recent
vacation in Australia. 

Please supply me with more info about length, delivery time and price
for The Netherlands.

I develop HIE in XTOL 1+1 and hardly have a pinhole problem. I do not
presoak, the only precautions I take are a proper control of
temperature, a very gentle agitation, a freh stop and fixer bath.-- 

Best regards,
Jaap Los
Alkmaar, The Netherlands
