Unchanged since 1974 when we used it for intaglio and litho printmaking at college. Soft surface will not withstand a lot of erasing or sharp pencils. Lasts many years without yellowing because content is 100% rag. Can be soaked for prints or watercolor without buckling. A very high quality paper and satisfying to work on. Store flat not rolled.
It was recommended for doing Gelli plate mono-printing. I have not tried it just yet, because I will be taking a workshop later today at the University Art store in downtown Sacramento. After the class within the next few days, I will be trying it. I will probably it these sheets up into quarter size of 11 inches by 15 inches like I do for Arches 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper. I have bought some Golden Open Acrylic and some liquid gel medium all with some stencils to do some printing. Tisia Blackburn from San Francisco is the teacher and representative of Golden. I will find out what other papers I can use, but this one is recommended. I like the results that I have seen, but have not used it just yet.
these are great quality!!!! pencil erasing is very easy, leaves no marks at all in comparison to other cheaper paper sheets. the edges are very nice too. One thing I need to mention is that only two edges are finished, and the other two have a straight cut.
I didn't see these to know how well it was packaged, but no one complained to me so I'm assuming they arrived in good shape. I know my daughter-in-law was very happy. I know they shipped quickly, and arrived well before Christmas.
