I thought it would be cool and also helpful, if there was a collection of contacts of recommended board suppliers, for Biorust members to use and abuse.
For people just starting out in print, finding quality material to work with in this media can often be hard to get hold of at first. A lot of people won't know where to look, or what options there are out there, to enhance your finished work. Hopefully this thread will help not only the beginner to get hold of quality boards, but also the old school vet.
There will always be 'the right board for the job', but where do you get it from? Most printers will have standard paper and boards, some will even have basic textured paper, but not all printers will have everything. In a lot of cases, it is down to the designer to provide the media themselves! So dig out your browser and let's share some favourites.
I'll get the ball rolling by posting some of my five most used paper & board suppliers and contacts, in no order.
