  Anyone knows a good place where you could order that cotton paper that is used to make those sexy letterpress printing business cards?

  Cheers,

  I guess Canson is handling this venerable firm now - not cheap, but the finest paper I know, especially in consistent quality from sheet to sheet...

  Thank you.

  What about other types of paper with high gsm that could work with the press?

  In reality all you have to search for is "acid free linen paper" or "acid free cotton paper" - you'll find lots to chose from.

  Thanks again.

  I live in Europe and I'm trying to find a good spot where you could order such paper for a fairly reasonable price.

  Not European, but they cover just about every type of paper known to man... use it as a resource to find the right mill in your neck of the woods...
