Does anyone have any spare rolls of 120 Tech Pan they'd be willing to part
with for a price? Or does anyone know of a retailer that still has some in
stock? Thanks a bunch!

Andy:
I don't know what your specific use for the 120 Tech Pan is, but you should be aware that over the last five years or so, 120 Tech Pan that had been hypered exhibited a problem of the type ink on the paper backing imprinting itself on the film. After processing, the letters and words (Kodak, 1,2,3,etc.) on the paper backing were clearly visible in the film. This was especially true if a high vacuum was used for the dessication part of the hypering process.
Kodak supposedly changed the inks used to print the paper backing from solvent to water based inks which was causing the problem.
