The URL below gives a lot of information on various grades of
clay coated paper. I think Time magazine and some catalogs are
printed on one of the lower (if not the lowest) grade of clay coated
paper.
Mostly, this "stock" in only available in very large sizes and
very large quantities for the printing industry.
Perhaps someone can find a printing house that is willing
to sell small quantities of the material for our experimentation.
