Does anyone have an online source for a reasonably priced glossy
paper, such as the clay-coated stuff used in the NCECA Journal?
Inkjet, not laser? Doesn't necessarily have to be "photo paper."
I'm also curious as to whether anyone has an opinion on that type
paper holding up better than regular rag content for things one
might wish to archive in print...like clayart threads or scanned
notes from old notebooks etc.
TIA,
Wayne Seidl

i will contact karen filla.
i spoke with her about clayart again.
i think she understands the potential
of internet communications.
i believe if we sent the nceca book pdf ,we could
save enough money to send 100 kids through mfa
programs.

The best source for coated paper is a local printing paper supplier such as
Xpdx. Ask for 80 pound book-weight coated enamel. That is the type used for
offset printing. It is much less expensive than inkjet photo paper.
For archiving, I recommend non-acidic uncoated paper.

Hi Wayne...
traditionally, rag paper outlasts about anything, without yellowing or
cracking. It's paper made of wood pulp that's usually a problem...guess it
would depend on whether it was 100% rag, which has been around for hundreds
of years, or a lesser amount?

Hi Kate, Wayne, all...
Indeed Kate...good call...
...or, too, it is the residual traces of Acids, used to
break down the Cellulous of the Wood Pulp in rendering it
suitable for needs of Paper making, which cause the Paper to
turn tan or brown and become frail or brittle over time.
Atmospheric Humidity is thought to inspire the otherwise dry
acid residu from greater torpidity. Almost any late 1930s or
1940s, or by now, 1950s or many '60s Newspapers or
Paper-back Books will show this, and some more than others.
I have had Books like this, so frail, it was impossible to
turn their darkened pages without them breaking.
Good grades of Acid Free or of officially 'Archival' Paper,
of various kinds, in parent Sheets which may be cut to one's
specific needs, should be available from any Paper Wholesale
Warehouse or Manufacturer like 'Craine', 'Boise', 'Fox
River' or many others.
Jobbers and odd-lot jobbers may also have on hand.
