The Story..

Everyone knows about direct positive photo paper nowadays. It has some nice features, but lacks a crucial quality: high speed. Every single shot is too time-consuming for large-format photographers. Fellow pinholers sometimes struggle for hours - needlessly. Plus if there's a moving object in the shot, the object turns out blurred (if it appears at all). And yet, 70 years ago, photographers had already come up with a solution, Kodak Super Speed Direct Positive Paper.

But this valuable paper disappeared from the market in 1970. Its secret was lost. To solve this problem, we decided to create a substitute paper, but we didn't just want to bring back a discontinued photo paper. We wanted to make a better one, with higher sensitivity, better dynamic range, and easier development process that would be performed with room temperature solution.

The result... Galaxy Hyperspeed Direct Positive Paper
