Somerset is a world-leading traditional printmaking paper made from 100% cotton to high archival standards. This mould-made paper has a gentle texture with a soft and good-tempered nature, creating a strong and stable sheet that ensures excellent printing results.
Perfect for etching, silk screen, letterpress, block printing and other relief printing techniques. It also works beautifully with watercolours, inks, gouache and acrylic paints. The flat texture makes it ideal for detailed etching work, while it remains flat after printing.
At 300gsm, this heavyweight paper provides excellent durability and professional results. Each sheet features 4 deckled edges and is acid-free, ensuring your artwork will last for years. The 15-minute soak time and ability to hold a lovely emboss makes it work well with both intaglio and relief printing methods.
