Mould-made cotton paper for printmaking with archival durability

Thick enough to withstand multiple press runs and resist cockling, light enough to fold cleanly for book arts applications.

The acid-free formulation ensures longevity for editions and bound work that needs to maintain integrity over time. This weight handles small-scale etching techniques without the bulk of heavier printmaking papers, making it particularly valuable for artists working on intimate-scale prints or creating handmade books where page thickness affects the final object. The surface accepts drawing media cleanly when you're working out compositions or adding hand-drawn elements to printed pieces.

Arches brings centuries of papermaking expertise to this sheet, producing a reliable working surface that adapts across techniques. Whether you're pulling delicate drypoint editions, assembling sewn signatures, or developing mixed-media drawings, Rives Heavyweight provides the structural integrity and surface quality that precise work requires.
