Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process) : quality close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is therefore more homogeneous and has good dimensional stability. Only papermaking on a cylinder mould can produce paper with deckle edges.
The ideal paper for
calligraphy and ink!
Properties
Uses
Calligraphy, pen and ink, pastel, charcoal, bookbinding, letterpress, screen-printing
Formats
Sheet
100% cotton
Paper with very good mechanical strength. Pleasure of using a soft, supple, noble material (unbelievable feel).
119 gsm
Lightweight and flexible. Has good bulk, i.e. it is relatively thick for a grammage of 119 gsm.
Special formulation
Gelatin surface-sized: limits the paper’s absorption capacity (ink does not bleed or penetrate into the paper) and guarantees good resistance of the fibres. The pen nib glides effortless and smoothly over the paper. Excellent calligraphy and ink drawing. Ideal for letterpress printing and bookbinding.
Colour
Natural white. Colour much appreciated by calligraphers and art publishers.
Conservation
With alkaline reserve, acid-free, no optical brightening agents (permanent in accordance with ISO 9706)
