Art
paper is a good quality paper with highly finished and smooth
surface produced by supercalendering or by coating. In great Britain art
paper is considered to be a body paper or board paper coated with a
mineral substance such as sulphate or china clay. In the United States
art paper is made from chemical wood pulp. Art papers have a stunning
and a rich appearance, a paper used by artists all round the globe.
Heavily coated art papers are prone to cracking, flaking and pulling
away of the coating. It has a very high water finish, which provides the
required surface opacity, and absorbency suitable for the printing of
some halftones.
Handmade Art paper is ideal for gift wrapping and craft projects
for children, students and artists. It is mould-made, acid-free,
lignin-free, 100% cotton with a proprietary coating designed
specifically for fine art and fine photographic prints made on inkjet
printers using pigment-based or dye-based inksets.
