This paper is made by the Crane Paper Company. It at first was called
"Parchment Business Card Stock" and now apparently "Cover 90". This
paper was optimized by Crane with suggestions from Dick Arentz in the
late '80s. The original lot number was 5302. The only thing Bostic and
Sullivan does is distribute it. It got a nickname "platinotype", but
that seems to have caused some confusion.
The Cover 90 can be obtained from any distributor of Crane paper.
However one may not find the appropriate lot number (optimized) unless
they get it from B&S, and even then I do not know how much of that lot
remaining they have warehoused.
A suggestion for the Kid finish paper is to contact a sales rep at Crane
and see if some full sized sheets can be purchased (without cutting to
stationary size). If so one could utilize the space between watermarks.
