Mill consolidations, discontinued paper lines, color changes and updated paper properties can disappoint you and cost you precious time and money.

Give me 5 minutes and I’ll show you how to spec’ the perfect paper for your project -- every time

I was so sick of it. Rushing from one unrealistic deadline to the next, I stopped dead in my tracks when I got the disturbing phone call.

“The paper you have chosen was discontinued six months ago,” my printer told me.

All over North America , thousands of designers and paper specifiers are going through the same exasperating experience. Every day, over and over again.

"For years, HOW has sought to provide designers with the latest information on paper, but the sheer volume of stocks and constant new product announcements have made it a challenge to keep up.

Now PaperSpecs has solved the problem by bringing updated, searchable information straight to designers' desktops. It's the ideal tool for specing paper."

"I was reluctant because merchants and merchant spec reps were calling on us and I thought they were keeping us up-to-date. In the last year we have lost most of our spec reps - so I was thinking that your site would be a good substitute - but so far - in just one day - I have learned that it is better than spec reps. I am much more up-to-date than with the info the paper merchants and paper spec reps were giving me."

"I really didn't know anything about PaperSpecs when I came to the site. I have paper reps here in my town that provide me with swatchbooks, but they don't even have access to some of the ones you have. This thrills me and makes them crazy! My reps have even learned some things they didn't know.”
