Best quality

BRILLIANT paper!

Excellent quality. Love the quality, size and presentation of the paper. Arrived just as if left the factory floor, perfect!

I took a printmaking class in college, and I really enjoyed woodcut and linoleum reduction relief printing. The papers I was required to use in college was not very budget friendly, so I wanted to look at lower-cost alternatives that wouldnt skimp too much on the final print quality. I decided to go ahead and get a pad of this heavyweight paper to try it out. I havent pulled a print with this paper yet, but I can tell that so far it meets my expectations. The paper is a nice thickness, and has a reasonably nice tooth to it, and it seems that itll take ink well. It doesnt have the deckle edging that a lot of fine artists seem to prefer, but thats not very important to me. Good to know: I use AKUA water-based inks and a baren for pulling prints. I dont know how this paper will perform for oil-based inks or a press.

I bought this printmaking paper to try the technique of boiled ecoprints, using leaves and other botanicals to make art prints, which I then use for greeting cards. Literally you boil the paper and leaves (sandwiched together in a bundle and tied with twine, video tutorials abound) for about 45 minutes. The 100% cotton allows dyes and pigments to be absorbed, and as you can see from the drying prints, the paper does not fall apart . It is very good quality printmaking paper. I have tried this technique in past years using watercolor paper, mixed media paper, heavy cardstock. This is definitely superior.

its a nice standard size. holds ink well, especially or intaglio printmaking-- getting the water damp isnt a problem and it doesnt seem to affect the print at all.

Im please!

Very sitasfied with this product, and everything as expected.

I found this to be a good quality paper for the etchings I make. And I get it at a reduced rate on subscribe and save!
