I'm running out of some paper I bought years ago, and I can't remember what it is.
I know.
So I was wondering if there's anyplace I can send a piece of it where it might be identified, or at least a suitable substitute.
Full sheet size is 35 x 44 inches, I think it's a printmaking paper, not brilliant white, but white, thickness measures at 0.02"
While both sides are smooth, one side is a little more "open" than the other, maybe has less sizing?
And it takes a pounding. I work with oil sticks and graphite, I don't gesso (or otherwise prepare the paper), and use a pallette knife to both apply and scrape off material repeatedly, and it's never had any impact on it.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
