Summary

This product was used by photographers to print images on cards which could then be mailed as postcards. It is described as being 'special carbon velox matt' paper. The box states that it is suitable for use with average negatives. The Nepera chemical company trademark is noted on the box, suggesting Nepera chemicals were used to sensitise the paper.
