Sunset Cotton Etching Paper

This lightly textured paper has a texture resembling the paper used on etching presses for inaglio printmaking. This acid-free, lignin-free watercolor paper is made from 25% cotton and offers a natural white, matte finish and great color range providing excellent reproduction of both photography and traditional art. Though careful handling is always recommended, this paper is less likely to mar or scuff during normal handling like some other fine art printing papers. Available in widths up to 60".

Approximate longevity of 50-80 years in gallery lighting conditions.

Drawbacks

This is a machine-made paper that was created for digital printing, rather than a mould-made paper. Like all paper prints, it should be framed under glass.

Best Applications
