paper

1 – Digital paper

Sheets:

  • 7 1/2 sheets Innova 26×36 soft cotton duo digital paper, is like 190 gsm (see photos of it flat and rolled in a tube.) This paper is very nice, I think it cost over $10/sheet, and the sheets are big enough that you can make an entire book from it.

2 – large gray portfolio

about 7 lbs

Very beautiful Japanese paper, rare. I bought most of it at New York Central which had the best paper selection in the country, has been closed now for a few years. It cost a fortune. I used it for book arts and for digital printing. Contained in a large gray cardboard folder.

  • 8 sheets 24×36 Japanese paper  – very beautiful and rare, from Spencer Stone (whose father Ruskin Stone was an artist and owned an art store)
  • 32 sheets misc Japanese paper around 24×40, different textures and lightweight
  • 3 sheets 26×40 paper (like a thin Bristol board cold pressed)
  • 2 large sheets with imbedded leaves – probably Thailand or Nepal
