Somerset is a world leading traditional printmaking paper. Mould made from 100% cotton to high archival standards.

The surface has a gentle texture, soft and good-tempered nature, and is a strong and stable enough sheet to ensure excellent printing. It remains flat after printing and offers durability and long life to finished editions of work.

All materials are screened in the mill to ensure minimal environmental effect. No hazardous chemicals are released into the water ways. Pulps are sourced from sustainable sources (no rainforests are harmed in making the papers), and the cotton linters are a by-product from the textile industry.

Cotton content papers have a natural lasting brightness, crisp purity, strength and elegance. During the paper making process, the long cotton fibers bond and securely intertwine creating paper with exceptional strength for the most demanding of printing techniques. Your project will benefit from using this elegant, true felt finished, cotton enhanced paper that is luxurious to the touch. Printing/Handling Tips: Paper should be allowed to acclimate to pressroom conditions of 70° – 75° F with 50% relative humidity. Twenty-four hours is recommended and slightly longer during cold weather. Due to the bulk of the 111# Cover it may require special handling. Small lifts are recommended. Make sure the cutting blade is sharp. Conventional low-tack inks are recommended. The use of an IR oven often helps drying time. Consult with your ink manufacturer for varnish or aqueous coating applications. Always score before folding with multiple folds, the primary fold should be in the grain direction. Applications: Greeting cards, business cards, book covers, inserts, shopping bags, menus, luxury packaging, folders, calendars, prestige publications, brochures, envelopes, and direct mail advertising

Made with 60% cotton, Rosaspina is a mould made paperboard and suitable for all printmaking techniques (etching, lithography and silk-screening). The watermark runs parallel to the two larger sides of the sheet and reproduces the Fabriano trademark and logo. The two larger sides are deckled.

Stonehenge fine art papers are 100% cotton, with a smooth, flawless, slightly mottled surface to resemble vellum. They are acid-free, buffered with calcium carbonate to help protect artwork from contaminated environments. Created over 30 years ago, Stonehenge was originally created for a variety of printmaking techniques including etching and silkscreen.

Over the decades it has become one of the finest papers for pastel, pencil, charcoal, acrylics and watercolour.

Newsprint is a name given to thin, non-archival paper which is mainly produced for use in packaging and jobbing printing. It is a thin, diaphanous paper, like that used in phonebooks and hotel Bibles. Because it is very thin and cheap by the sheet, relief printmakers use newsprint to take proofs and to clean blocks after a printing session: a couple of prints on newsprint will allow much of the letterpress ink to be printed off the block, which saves wiping with solvents. Intaglio printmakers use it to give plates a final wipe before putting them through a rolling press (that is, after a thorough wipe with a tarlatan cloth, which removes most of the ink from the raised surfaces of the plate). This pack contains 500 sheets of 45gsm newsprint measuring approximately 64 x 90cm. The Use of Newsprint in Make-Ready. Newsprint is often used to create overlays, which adjust or equalise the downward pressure on a plate or block, a process known as make-ready. At 45gsm, this paper is extremely lightweight. It can therefore be used as packing when printing/burnishing by hand or in a simple press (a nipping press, for instance). It can also be used as packing on the cylinder of a cylinder press, or in the tympan of a platen press. When used in this way, it sits behind the sheet which will take the impression from the inked block or type. If the print is under-impressed, simply add another sheet of newsprint to subtly increase the downward pressure from the cylinder drum or platen. A thicker paper would be useless when making fine adjustments to the packing. When small areas of a block or plate need more pressure, it is possible to insert small circles or strips of newsprint into the packing. If used in this way, the insert should be torn rather than cut, so that a feathered edge is produced. This spreads the pressure difference out gradually over a larger area, so that the increased packing isn't visible in the print. Using Newsprint to cut Friskets. The other use of newsprint in relief printing is to produce 'friskets'. Friskets sit in the tympan of a platen press, between the type or block and the paper. They are used to mask areas of the sheet which are intended to remain white in the final impression from splotches of ink, which can build up on the lowered surfaces of the block or type. Printers generally produce friskets by taking an impression on newsprint and using a craft knife to cut out the areas they wish to see in the final print. This creates a 'window' through which the block or the type prints when the press is in action.
