Need alternate paper advice

[Ricmar]

Hi and Happy New Year.
My paper supplier picked up stakes and called it quits. I have been using
#80 Sterling Ultra Digital Dull Text (8.5" X 11.0"). It has a nice satin smooth finsh to it and is very durable as well as flexable. I can not find a supplier that carries it, I am in the Boston, Mass right near south eastern New Hampshire.
Could you reccomend an alternate type of paper or do you know of a supplier in my area? Any information will be appreciated.
THANK YOU,
Rick

total shot in the dark, but my paper guys recently suggested a futura dull as a replacement for sappi's gallerie silk...not sure if lindemeyr serves mass, but from how my rep has talked it up it sounds like it should be an easy one to find. (ps - he raved about it for digital...) but again, haven't tested yet - due to get some in this week and can certainly let you know post-test.

Hi sbs01,
Thank you for the information, I got lucky and found a supplier in my area not too far away.
Lindemeyr "Monroe" is located in Franklin, Mass....a long haul for me.
The new supplier I found is called XpedX associated with International Paper.
XpedX is pretty popular, you might want to check Philly to see if there is one near you..great prices! Good luck with the Futura Dull I hope it works out for you.
Rick
Thanks again sbs01

Xpedx is great , Unisource is also great (I use Unisource) they carry NewPage...

Have dealt with xpedx but not unisource. I will have to give unisource a try - thanks very much for the lead Michael.

It may well be worth trying to get of Green Stik they are a UK based material supplier, extremely reasonable prices great quality etc.

They may have a United States operation could be worthwhile if your still struggling.
