paper type

[Larry Kumpost]

I have found that the opaque bond papers does not age very well. The lighter translucent bonds can tare fairly easily but do not have the aging problem. If you use your printer as a copy machine then you don't want to go to the more expensive vellums that are available...unless cost is no object.

I realize that many commercial printers use large production printers to make multiple sets of prints but do you have a true production level printer? In other words, can you make one set and let the contractor got to a local printer for the prints he needs? I know one contractor that laminates one set for the job site. In that case the quality of the paper is not an issue.

Just something to think about.
