Full Version: Seamless paper - where to buy

Does anyone know a good place to buy seamless paper online where they don't kill you on shipping? I haven't had any luck in finding it anywhere locally so ordering online seems to be my only choice.

Many thanks,

Mike

Unfortunately, it's an oversized item to ship so I think eveyone is going to kill you on shipping.

Also, check out http://www.dickblick.com - they have the large seamless rolls for photographers. They also have shorter paper rolls which are meant for art projects. I've used the shorter ones for many photography projects which are about 4 ft long - and yeah seamed them together and zapped the seam in photoshop when I needed a larger space.

Any large towns within an hour or so of you? It would be cheaper to make a drive and pick it up then have it shipped.

B&H

B&H wants more to ship it than for it.

Local is the best way.

If you join NAPP for $99 per year you get free shipping from B&H. That makes ordering paper from them a lot cheaper.

does it cover over sized otems though?

They give free shipping to studetns as well but 12' rolls didn't count for me.

As far as I know, yes.

As long as your not in the middle of no-where you should be able to find it. I remember buying at Ritz once, look in the phone book for any camera shops, call and ask.

I don't know if any of your local stores would do this but it's worth a try . . . my local camera store did.

Our local store only carries a few basic colors of paper (black, white, gray), however they are letting me order some colored rolls and they'll just place the order for the colored paper when they place their orders for their standard colors.

So I don't have to pay for shipping and I just have to be flexible with the timeline in which the paper arrives since it'll be ordered whenever THEY need to buy more paper.

Another Napp member here. Anything from B&H has free shipping, not matter what size or weight. So worth it plus I dont have to drive around to find it. Comes directly to my door on the UPS truck!
