Actually, Kodabromide was made in four weights, right through the very
end of the emulsion.
Document-weight
Single-weight
Double-weight
Postcard-weight ("Extra-weight"?)
The document-weight paper is the weight of textbook paper and is, in
fact, meant to be bound directly into books. It's considerably lighter
than single-weight. Wonderful stuff, with many fun uses.
I know Kodak couldn't keep Kodabromide or Elite in production because
they would have had to reformulate the emulsions to eliminate cadmium,
and they never would have recovered the money spent doing so. But I
was still very sad to see them go.
