This prestige 100% cotton paper has very good mechanical strength and a soft, supple feel. Lightly sized, it is ideal for printing and is greatly appreciated by art publishers for its “love” of ink. With a pronounced fine grain it is also great for academic drawing, allowing the artist to play with the surface and to obtain relief effects. It is easily erasable without leaving marks or linting. Suitable for use with pencil, pastel, charcoal, sanguine crayon, felt pen, lithography, intaglio engraving, relief printing, linocut, letterpress, screen-printing, blind embossing, hot-foil stamping, bookbinding, and collotype printing. Acid-free with an alkaline reserve and no optical brightening agents, it is permanent in accordance with ISO 9706.
