Monthly Newsletter Printing Digital

[Abew]

I would like to get recommendation on the most economical paper for a monthly newsletter project printed on a Digital Press:

This is the specifications what the the cleint is asking:
Quantity: starting with 500 will definitely go up.
Finished size: 8 1/2 X11 [11X17 folded].
Starting with 20 Pages [5 11X17] more pages will be added as needed.
Cover and one spread [2 pages] colored, later on they want to use fully color.
Content will be mixed with text and images
Will be printed on a Xerox 700 with light production finisher.
Is there paper for digital like magazines are printed.

Thank you all in advance

I use Supreme Silk 80lb text for inside and Elite gloss 80lb cover from Xerox. I get very good results on Xerox 5252 printer

To answer your question, "paper for digital, like magazines" would mean that you are looking for a coated sheet. Most magazines are ran on a very light 50# or 60# gloss. You do not want to run that light weight of a sheet digital so as stated above a 80# gloss would work good. I have used Sterling gloss or Endurance gloss on a Xerox 6060 in the past and they worked great! They are cheaper than Xerox papers and they are "digital sheets" and they are sold in 12"x18" sheets... I hope this helps!

If you're endevouring to save money on stock, don't forget to buy a pallette instead of one or two boxes to save on quantity and shipping.

We always use Futura 80lb gloss or silk for magazine style projects. There also might be a fair price difference depending on which stock you choose if you have to go up to 12x18 because you need bleed, but I'm not certain on that.
