I was fortunate enough to be handed a PaperSpecs business card at a letterpress seminar I attended during the 2008 HOW conference in Boston. I encourage you to check out Sabine Lenz's online creation and mega resource: www.paperspecs.com.

While anyone can enjoy general postings related to the paper industry, (see the Obama printing link below) the key is to become a member. You'll have access to the most recent paper info like weight, enviro specs, sheet size and just about any question you might have regarding a sheet of paper.

My two favorite features: Pantone related color guide—compare a sheet to a Pantone swatch without having to own the mill's swatchbooks. Which leads to my second, see the latest swatchbook produced per mill with a direct link to order your own.

That way, you'll always have the latest on hand. We thank Sabine and her team! Inaugural Paper Choice: http://www.paperspecs.com/hotnews/200911052106.htm Brooklyn-based printer invitation video: http://video.aol.com/partner/cnnmoney/the-inaugural-invitation/news:2009:01:05:news:obama:invitations
