<< Thanks Dave. So far have gotten no where finding it. Our cousins in GB
have a source. I wonder how they get the stuff. Also what else will work.
There must be something available with the properties of Synteape. Any advice
out there? >>
Yes, it looks like in GB or in other countries, it is easier to get the paper.
Probably because they are not made there, so it took a long time if the paper
is shipped only when it is ordered, so there must be some dealers or
distributors that stock them up. As I said, one can buy just one sheet of
Kimdura in Indonesia.
Kimdura is made by Kimberly-Clark in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. They
will send you samples if you request it through their Web site (need to sound
real professional, tell them you are doing special printing process and needs
samples for testing). They did send me a sample book, but I didn't continue to
do my tests because I thought what was the point if I cannot buy it by sheet.
Keith mentioned Tyvek. Someone recommended that to me to. It sounds like very
similar, if not the same, material.
Also, Arjobex makes synthetic paper. One kind is called Polyart. I believe
that is the same thing also. The phone number of the sample dept. is
800-316-4029. You should try to get a sample because it is interesting that
the whole sample book is printed in this polyart paper. It looks as natural as
regular paper, it's only when you try to tear it, you realize that it is not
paper.
