Aurthur,

Here are some paper sources that I’ve found while looking for some of the names you’ve mentioned, both seem to have an excellent selection. Legion was even kind enough to contact me when I had inquired about somerset with Inveresk/St Cuthbert in the UK (as their US distributer).

Legion Paper
http://www.legionpaper.com/

Graphic Chemical
http://www.graphicchemical.com/

Others will have more sources but I hope this helps get you started.

Arthur,
I get my large quantity amounts of all of the paper that I mentioned from Legion Papers also. But if you aren’t looking to inventory paper, you need to find a supplier that will sell it to you by the sheet. These companies cater mostly to printmakers (if you want to do a search for them). My small quantity supplier is Reniassance (sp?) Graphic Arts. Unfortunately I dont have their contact info with me now. Legion also has an internet outlet www.paper-papers.com.
The above mentioned sheets come in 22 x 30 and 30 x 44 (except Arturo).

You can buy packs of 100 sheets for an excellent price from Takach Paper (same Takach that makes etching and litho presses).

In the mid-west, Dolphin Paper in Indianapolis has very good prices and a huge selection.

Hello
Please help me solve this? I want to create accurate and easily double thick stocks. Is there any machine that can glue to sheets of card stock precisely and easily together?
thank you
Arthur

People have mentioned using everything from expensive Potdevin and Xyron machines to gold old Super 77. I haven’t done it and am still curious how people register front to back when paper is already printed, though perhaps this should be discussed on another thread.

Thank you Wildmark.

If any one knows the right solution to this problem, please help me.
Thank you
