CROSSGEN'S MONTHLIES CHANGE PAPER STOCK
By Matt Brady
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Via its messageboards, CrossGen has announced a change in the paper stock of its monthly books, from a 50# weight to a 40# weight beginning with itsa January-shipping books, although, for reasons stated below, CGE’s R.A. Salvatore’s Demon Wars #1 was already released using the different stock. According to CrossGen’s printing representative at Quebecor, the 50# stock that the publisher used to use in all of its books is no longer being produced by the manufacturer.
“The 40# stock is readily available and still maintains the high quality standards everyone is used to,” CrossGen’s Ian Feller posted. “Therefore, it is better to change now with a stock that we know will be readily available and maintain consistency in our books.
“As of the January stand date books, all interior pages of our single issues will be printed with this 40# stock, but the cover stock will remain the same. The reason that DemonWars was printed on this stock before our other books is so the whole series would be consistent. It didn't make sense to print one issue on 50# stock, knowing that all books were going to change beginning the next month.”
To the best of CrossGen’s knowledge, no other publisher uses the 50# stock for its monthly books.
