I use this sort of paper for everything from “refrigerator prints” (small prints held by a magnet on a refrigerator or metal door) to laminated prints for kids’ rooms to matted and framed prints of deceased relatives and beloved pets.

Kirkland was alleged to be non-acidic, and my experience over perhaps a dozen years or so is that the base color is quite stable (i.e. doesn’t yellow). ?I doubt than anyone will care about my images in 100+ years… but you never know!!

Early Kirkland paper was made in Switzerland, and more recently in Mexico. Were/are those Mitsubishi plants?

Whatever the manufacturing plant, I believe that the formulas and specifications would have sufficient value and appeal that *someone* would acquire the rights and resume production under some label or other. ? Silver based darkroom papers could certainly be reproduced, redesigned or, I presume, even made to order.

I haven’t tried any of Canon’s papers. $18 per 100 seems so inexpensive as to be… well… *cheap*. ?I wouldn’t trust it for anything except short-time throw-away prints. ?

Epson Premium Glossy was my first thought since it is widely available, and seemed to have decent longevity with Epson K3 inks. Or their “Ultra Premium Luster”.?
