Velin d'ARCHES Paper Pad, Cream CP 9X12" 123lb/200gsm

The reference in the art world since 1942 and a standard that all other high-end publishing papers have followed!

Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process): made today on a cylinder mould, the slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is homogeneous and has very good dimensional stability. When printing, the job of positioning the humidified paper is much easier and the paper can easily withstand repeated passages through the press. Only papermaking on a cylinder mould can produce paper with deckle edges.
