This
is a beautiful acid free paper of Japan.
Silk Tissue is a
mixture of gampi and sulphite. It is an extremely thin shiny tissue. It
has a silky feel, is quite transparent and is surprisingly strong for
its weight. It has no deckle edge.
Exquisite and elegant silk tissue can be available in a range of sizes
and colors. Like some of the Japanese papers it is also made from short
glossy fibers of gampi. These fibers make the strongest of papers. Gampi
fibers are resistant to insects and this resistance makes the paper very
long lasting. A special characterisic of Handmade Silk Tissue Paper is its glossy
smooth and easy-to-write-on surface.
This acid-free paper is used as an interleaving, a mending tissue in
conservation work and a chine collé sheet for intaglio printing.
It is available as unbuffered and buffered
silk tissue papers
for the archival storage of photographs and aquarelle paintings as well
as for graphics and textiles.
