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.
Uses
Pencil, pastel, charcoal, sanguine crayon, graphite,calligraphy, pen and ink, felt pen, gouache, marbling, letterpress, blind embossing, bookbinding
Texture
Laid. The laid lines give the paper a certain relief and a prestigious surface that preserves every nuance of the pencil stroke and gives body and depth to the drawing. Paper famous for its exceptional qualities in fine arts schools all over the world. Favourite paper of 19th French artists (e.g. Georges Seurat’s charcoal drawings).
75% cotton
High cotton content, very good mechanical strength. Pleasure of using a soft, supple, noble material (unbelievable feel).
Special formulation
Gelatin surface-sized. Limits the paper’s absorption capacity (ink does not bleed) and guarantees good resistance of the fibres. Optimum rendering even after repeated corrections.
