This Box of Fuji 8 x 10" Crystal Archive Type II Paper produces amazing colors - subtle shades of green, striking blues and vibrant reds. Your highlights will show more detail as well as being very white.

Improved layer design also makes this paper preferable to use when it comes to faster processing in digital minilabs using Fuji's Frontier 570 machine. This translates into enhanced productivity and increased profits.
Crystal Archive is an excellent paper to use when long-term image storage and stability is desired. It is fade resistant In addition, this paper handles extremely well and will tolerate occasional variances in image processing better than other papers.

With the diminishing market offering color neg papers, I have to give it to Fuji. My work would be hurtin' if they didnt offer paper any more. Type II has a different ballance than older Type Super C, but still get great prints from it. Prints great with Kodak film. Ektar and especialy Portra are super clean color palets for this paper.

I use this paper for advanced photo class at university of houston. Super reasonable price for a broke student! Only thing I wish could be better would be more than hundred sheets per box for the same price! Great product. I plan on purchasing more soon!

I love this paper. It adds such a nice sheen to my images. My one and only complaint is be careful when handling it, you may leave fingerprints. But the fingerprints can just be wiped off with a soft cloth.

I am a student in college and we have been using this paper is our color darkroom class. It is a very good paper, it has great color and the shadows look spectacular. There are better papers out there but for the price this can't be beat.

Comments about Fujifilm Crystal Archive Type II Paper (8 x 10", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
Very high contrast. Shadows get a slight mottling if you let things fade to complete black to the point of clipping.I always have tons of this stuff around because it's 100 sheets for only [$]. I make test prints of various regions of my larger prints with this paper and there is practically ZERO difference when i move up to the larger paper. Colour balance and contrast stays exactly the same.I accidentally left a pack out of the freezer for 3 weeks and it printed exactly the same as paper that was in the freezer. I don't recommend long-term storage out of the fridge or freezer, however.I don't really notice a difference when I take it out of the freezer & print right away vs leaving it time to warm up. Individual sheets of paper usually warm up to temp once they've been on the enlarging easel during the exposure.I develop mine with Kodak Ektacolor chemicals with a modified CAP-40 roller transport, 1:10 min at 92F. I never see cross curves unless they're in the negative.

The timing on shipping was perfect. Also, the paper is awesome and there's a sufficient amount of it considering it was only [$]. I have no complaints!

I purchased this paper for use in my color photography class and found it to give brilliant, true colors in processing. I was worried about receiving photo paper in the mail in the fall due to the weather changes, but B&H provided tracking information so I was able to get the package inside as soon as it arrived.

This paper is already well know for its quality, but I would like to commend B&H for having the speediest and cheapest shipping for this product on the web. Its extremely hard to find this in a store anymore and I am so happy that B&H was such an easy way to get it.

Thank you so much for saving the semester. My son and his friend were trying to manage their resources for the last week of summer session at RCC photography school. They discovered that they would be short printing paper by a week. Mom to the rescue. [...]
