Arches BFK Rives 56x76cm 280gsm Cold Pressed Paper Pack Of 10 Sheets

Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process): quality close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is therefore more homogeneous and has 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. Uses Pencil, pastel, charcoal, sanguine crayon, graphite, felt pen, lithography, intaglio engraving, relief printing, linocut, letterpress, screen-printing, hot-foil stamping, bookbinding, heat embossing, collotype printing. Texture Light fine grain: perfectly balanced soft grain and smooth surface that brings out the slightest detail. Allows the artist to obtain shadow and light effects, to create contrasts. 100% cotton Paper with very good mechanical strength. Pleasure of using a soft, supple, noble material (unbelievable feel). Special formulation Lightly sized: smooth, absorbent surface suitable for all printmaking techniques. Velin BFK Rives® is greatly appreciated by art publishers for its “love” of ink.
