Digital BW, The Print

Joshua, 
If you are going to make another rag paper, I would make it heavier weight (300gsm) and other items as described by you below.

  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.
