We need a list of the major paper distributors in Japan, who sell
large quantities of specialty printing papers and would have swatch
books available for prospective customers. For each, we need the name,
website URL, contact email address and phone number, and a brief
description.
Background:
We are searching for an elegant paper stock to offset print a brochure
onto - something white with a nice, subtle, light texture, that will
not interfere with the color printed images.
Unfortunately, paper stocks we have identified so far (such as Linen,
Felt, Flannel, Cotton, Vellum) do not work for various reasons. For
some, their texture is too pronounced and interferes with the image.
Others are too conventional.
We would like to broaden our search to include (printing) paper stocks
from Japan, to benefit from the Japanese talent for style.
In the United States, the equivalents are companies such as Marquardt
and RIS. The specialty papers they stock include brands like Neenah
and Domtar - a pretty good list is available at
[http://www.gdusa.com/feature/9_01reportPaper.html] (top paper
companies for Annual and Corporate Reports). But we are looking for
the Japanese equivalents. |
