Subject: Source for Mirage paper
The HRHRC Conservation Department is interested in ordering some Mirage(r) paper, made by Rising Paper Mill/ Paper Co. (now, I understand, a division of Fox River Paper Co.in Wisconsin). Mirage is a heavy weight paper (almost a 2-ply thickness, or equivalent to it), 100 per cent rag, acid-free, neutral pH, white in color; comes in vellum or plate finish (we're looking for vellum finish); size: 26 x 40 in./ sheet. I'm trying to determine if this product is still made, and if so, who is the distributor, and what is the price. Rising Paper Co. (located in Housatonic, MA) gave me the 1-800 customer service number for Fox River Paper Co. in WI (don't know the city. Madison?) but all I get is piercing squeals on the line because it's also apparently their Fax no (not a particularly efficient way to operate customer service, but that's merely my opinion). The number I was given is 1-800-942-3350. Has anyone else tried (and succeeded in) ordering this product? Thanks in advance for any feedback on this! Regards, Barbara **** Moderator's comments: I forwarded this query to Ralph Roessler who replied that Paper Technologies Inc carries Mirage. Although he didn't intend to post the info, I think it is of general interest: Mirage White 310 gsm 100% cotton fiber Acid-Free Sized for offset 200 sheets/carton In size 26" x 40" your price would be $1.73/sheet.(F.O.B. Calif.). Please note that we only supply full cartons.
