About Us

RA-4 Supply is one-stop shop for color darkroom printers. I supply machine-cut premium RA-4 color darkroom paper in common sheet sizes, as well as RA-4 chemistry and other color printing necessities.

I'm Aidan Sciortino; I'm a photographer based in Rochester, NY, I work mostly with film, and I'm the proprietor of RA-4 Supply. I started RA-4 Supply as a simple solution to a common problem; I love printing my color negatives in the darkroom, but getting fresh, quality RA-4 paper in reasonable quantities is easier said than done. 

I started hand-cutting RA-4 paper from rolls for myself, carefully measuring each sheet and packing it up for personal use. I learned a lot doing this; how to store the paper so it stays fresh, how to ensure accurate dimensions for processing, and how to work quickly and efficiently in the dark. 

I've grown to really love RA-4 papers like Kodak Endura, Fujifilm Maxima, and Fujifilm DPII, which are only available in large rolls. Now that my setup is mature, I'm excited to offer accessible cut sheets to a wider audience.

Each batch is meticulously tested before it's offered for sale; I print grey-cards, Macbeth Charts, and test for base fog before I make the paper widely available. With the utmost care paper is machine-cut, carefully packaged in light-safe packaging, and shipped to your door. I refuse to sell anything I wouldn't use myself.

Keep an eye out for future product announcements, including cut-sheet polyester-based Fujiflex cut sheets and RA-4 Color Print chemistry.

If you're interested in seeing my work, you can follow me on instagram @aidansciort. I also love to hang out and talk shop on Photrio, as well as in myriad communities on Discord. If you've got any questions, you can also reach me by email.

In the meantime; from one Color Darkroom printer to another - keep printing.
