Legion Paper - Coventry Rag Printmaking Paper
Coventry Rag Printmaking Paper
Artists achieve crisp prints and rich detail on this versatile cotton rag
Machine-made construction doesn't mean compromising on archival quality. Legion produces this 100% cotton paper in the USA with neutral pH chemistry that protects prints and artwork from degradation over decades. The vellum surface provides enough tooth for reliable ink adhesion in offset and silkscreen printing while maintaining smoothness that won't interfere with fine detail reproduction.
Cotton fibers absorb and hold ink differently than wood pulp alternatives, yielding richer color saturation and sharper edge definition in both commercial and fine art printing. Clean-cut edges eliminate deckles entirely, giving you precise sheet dimensions that matter for edition work requiring consistent registration or prints destined for standard frames. The paper's internal sizing creates a stable surface that resists cockling under water-based inks and maintains dimensional stability through multiple press runs.
Printmakers working in offset lithography and silkscreen appreciate how Coventry Rag balances receptivity with durability, ink sits cleanly on the surface without excessive absorption that dulls color or bleeding that compromises registration. The consistent quality across sheets means reliable results whether you're pulling a single proof or completing a numbered edition.
