[comp.text.desktop] Paper Types

inc@tc.FLUKE.COM (Gary Benson) (08/20/87)

A month or 6 weeks ago, someone posted here an explanation of their search
for a good paper for laser printers. The poster had used a densitometer to
compare whiteness and found a paper called CF Laseredge to be superior even
to typesetting galley. (A reading of 0.1 versus 0.2 for galley was mentioned.)

I have talked to our print shop and purchasing agents about this product,
and no one seems to be able to locate it. Can the original poster please
email me more specific information about this paper? Does CF stand for
Cotton Fiber or is it the manufacturer's name as I had assumed? If CF is the
manufacturer, can you tell me where they are located? If someone else makes
it, can you tell me who? I am anxious to try the paper you mentioned, but
just can't seem to locate it.

Thanks very much,

CF Laseredge is a brand of paper.  It is distributed by CG Graphics Arts
Supply, 481 Washington St., New York, NY 10019, 212-925-5332.  It's expensive
($16 for 250 sheets and up), but worth it for final output.

There's a whole article on it and Hammermill Laser Plus paper in the
second quarter issue of the PostScript Language Journal, starting on page 15.
