Rives manufactures papers called Lightweight, Heavyweight and BFK. Lightweight
and Heavyweight are text weight papers (used mostly for letterpress printing),
the former weighing in at 115 grams/sq. meter, the latter at 175. Confusingly,
BFK is heaviest of all at 250 grams, but that is a standard weight for
printmaking papers. I use Rives BFK frequently and have not heard anything
about manufacturing changes or noticed any changes in it's characteristics.
