A note on this list last year from Cranes rep, Peter Hopkins, who may or
may not still be Cranes rep, <phopkin@bcnnet>, said 90lb Cranes Cover
Natural White used to be called Crane's Parchment but for several years
the alternative process trade called it Cranes Platinotype.
Large sheets "parent sheets" are available from photog Formulary & B&S,
among others, or go to www.crane.com, "On line shopping/business cards &
cover stock, or call Crane Direct sales at 1/800-5CRANE6 for most of
their papers. He said crane's has been working with Carl Weese to test
its other business papers & stationery for alt.
This is excerpted from paper article, P-F #5, p. 39. May or may not be
latest deal. But it can only help to call Cranes & express yr desires.
