Re: [Digital BW] Concorde Rag - White?

2001-08-20 by levij@legionpaper.com

Todd - 

The Concorde we are considering would be exactly what you said.
  - Not as bright white as LPM
  - Not as smooth as LPM
  - Smoother than Somerset Photo Enhanced (SPE)
  - Not as creamy as Concorde Rag
  - Better blacks than SPE
  - Weight tbd (suggestions?)

As for the Legion line, you can find the information in Antonis' 
database, or on http://www.legionpaper.com 

As for your specific question about the changes in the line:
  - We introduced Legion Photo Matte, Legion Photo Gloss in
    sheets and rolls
  - We introduced Legion Photo Canvas Cover in 8.5x11
  - We introduced Somerset Photo Enhanced in textured sheets
    and rolls  
  - We added 13"x33' rolls of SPE Velvet
  - Based on user feedback, the surface of SPE Velvet was made
    slightly smoother.  Boxes are labelled as "Improved Surface"
   (The "old" surface is still available in 255gsm).
  - We introduced Concorde Rag in 24" rolls

Each of the current desktop grades is available in our Digital Art 
Paper Sampler.  

If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me offline.
