Premium Archival Printmaking Paper

One paper for all printmaking processes If you go to the big art supply chain and buy a pad marked "Printmaking," you're very likely to be disappointed. The typical paper sold for printmaking is too thick for relief processes and too slick to hold ink properly, so beginners get poor impressions and think they've made a process error — when really, they've just purchased the wrong paper. Our Premium Archival Printmaking Paper is an all-purpose printmaker's paper that really works for modern studios. At 150 gsm, with a soft and unsized composition, it accepts ink easily and allows relief printmakers to use barens or hand-rubbing without excessive pressure. Of course, you can also run it through your press for intaglio or letterpress processes. We use European-milled paper, in unbleached, natural white. It's made on a traditional cylinder-mold machine for ultimate stability and strength. We cut the master sheets to size and package them here in St. Louis. Available in cut-sheet packs of 12. Show more
