[Antir_scribes] Charter Paper

[AnTir Scribe]

Help!! - its Bronwen:-)

I'm having trouble with Charter Paper,

The stuff that we are using right now was purchased in August 08 (and it
will soon be gone)
it is Skytone Parchment Cover 11 x 17 Natural - Custom Cut - 65 lb
I've been told that the paper it is too light weight for charters, that it
does not scrape well and that we have no proof it is acid free

It has been suggested that we look at Astroparche
it is guaranteed acid free - and I am told it can be scraped
but, the samples that I got from Wausau paper show that they only make it in
65 lb cover (and lighter weight)
and in showing the samples around - it is again said to be too light weight
for charters

I'm not sure that anything over 65lb can go through a copy machine

does anyone have any other suggestions for a good paper that we can look at
for charters

I'm going to try and shop - but am fearful of not being able to meet all the
criteria

Affordable Price
Correct Weight (but still able to go through a copy machine)
Acid free
Correct color (similar to real parchment)
Correct look (a bit of visual texture)
Able to be scraped (to get off blotches of dropped paint)


Also, if we can't meet "all" the criteria - which criteria do we meet while
leaving which criteria behind?
