100% cotton, made on a cylinder mould machine, ideal for silkscreen printing and relief printing.
It has a very fine, satiny grain and is admired for its soft feel.
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.
This paper is not sized. It is therefore highly absorbent. This is a quality for relief printing and silkscreen printing. It is a slight defect for lithography.
For intaglio printing, the paper needs to be moistened by impregnation or spraying.
