  To the group - 

  I wanted to take the "pulse" of the group:  is there an interest in 
  Concorde Rag in white (in addition to the current softwhite)?  Would 
  you be interested in a heavier weight, or the current 181gsm?

A Concord Rag with
the color of Torchon, 
Black Dmax of Torchon, 
the smoothness of Extreme Gamut Satine,  
and 285-300 gsm would be heaven.

It would be available in 17" rolls, 24" rolls, and 36" rolls as well as the standard paper sizes.

Oh, and while you are at it, how about Ziploc print bags in standard paper not photo sizes.

Yes for me too.
If you can keep the exact same surface as Concorde rag, Have it white, and 
thicker,  it would be a hot paper! 24in rolls also.

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.
