Is a high-quality printmaking paper made from 100% cotton fibres. Softer and more absorbent than cellulose-based papers, it offers excellent flexibility and strength. Its surface, while refined, has a more natural feel, allowing it to respond well under pressure. This makes Laurier especially suitable for intaglio techniques such as etching and engraving, where the paper must draw ink from recessed areas and support subtle embossing.
-
Is a lightweight printmaking paper made from 100% wood-free cellulose. Inspired by traditional Japanese papers, it features a smooth and even surface that delivers excellent definition and crisp line reproduction. Light and supple, it adapts closely to the printing surface, allowing for the accurate transfer of fine details and subtle tonal variations. Its controlled absorbency ensures clean, sharp results without excessive ink spread. Simili Japon is particularly well suited to relief printing, lithography and other techniques where precision and clarity are essential.
-

Combining strength with flexibility, it offers a stable and reliable surface for a broad range of techniques.

Salland is an ideal choice for artists seeking one paper that performs consistently across multiple applications.

Salland, with its blend of fibres, offers a balance between the two, providing versatility and consistent performance across a wide range of printmaking methods.
