I was fortunate enough to be handed a PaperSpecs business card at a letterpress seminar I attended during the 2008 HOW conference in Boston. I encourage you to check out Sabine Lenz’s online creation and mega resource: www.paperspecs.com. While anyone can enjoy general postings related to the paper industry, (see the Obama printing link below) the key is to become a member. You’ll have access to the most recent paper info like weight, enviro specs, sheet size and just about any question you might have regarding a sheet of paper. My two favorite features: Pantone related color guide–compare a sheet to a Pantone swatch without having to own the mill’s swatchbooks. Which leads to my second, see the latest swatchbook produced per mill with a direct link to order your own. That way, you’ll always have the latest on hand. We thank Sabine and her team!
