Digital BW, The Print

does anyone have a table of specs for the popular papers that they're 
willing to share ?

I'm thinking of something easy to refer to with rows and columns 
showing the different brands and their characteristics - such as :

contains or doesn't contain optical brighteners, coated or not-1 side 
or 2, smooth finish or water col, weight (gsm/mm), acid free or not, 
bright white or natural white, etc....

thanks
Frank

Frank,

Check out "Files>Paper Data" from the group homepage. Antonis 
compiled a database of paper information in Filemaker and there is a 
tab delimited version as well.

Thanks Martin,

I looked around there, but I cant seem to open the files - what do I 
need to convert them ? 
I am on a PC and I have Excel, Word etc.
thanks,
Frank

Frank,

the data in these files only goes up to August 2001. I will be working on an 
update soon. Meanwhile, what is there downloads and unstuffs OK on a Mac 
(excel and word files) but I guess PC formats are different.
The FileMaker files will need you to have the program (on either platform) 
before you can open them. There is a tab-delimited text version but you need 
Stuffit to uncompress.
Also look in our Database area. There were the beginnings of a 
member-supported database, but seems pretty incomplete.

Sorry this isn't more directly helpful. I hope to pick up where I left back in 
August....
