Fabriano - Printing Papers
Printing Papers
Pull crisp editions on cotton-rich paper that resists aging and warping
Mould-made papers reward printmakers with the character of handmade sheets at more accessible prices. Both Fabriano options here deliver that balance, though each serves different priorities. Tiepolo's 290gsm weight and 100% cotton construction handle aggressive printmaking techniques, deep etching bites, multiple lithographic runs, relief printing pressure, while maintaining dimensional stability through dampening and drying cycles. Four deckle edges mark every sheet as distinct, with the watermark positioned in the lower right corner. Vellum surface provides sufficient tooth for ink adhesion without interfering with fine detail transfer.
Rosaspina takes a different approach. At 220gsm with 60% cotton content, it offers versatility across printmaking methods and drawing techniques at lower cost per sheet. Two deckle edges on the long sides preserve handmade aesthetics while simplifying trimming for specific press beds or framing dimensions. Acid-free composition and neutral pH ensure archival stability, important when you're producing edition work meant to last. Both papers feature vellum finish that accepts ink cleanly while revealing the subtle texture variations that distinguish quality printmaking papers from commercial stock.
