Printmaking paper pad
Absorbent paper with texture that grabs ink cleanly and handles pressure without tearing. The weight and tooth are specifically designed for relief printing techniques like block printing and rubbings.
What to look for
- 1Weight around 90-120 gsm (heavier than copy paper, not cardstock)
- 2Slight texture or "tooth" that grabs ink without being rough
- 3Acid-free/archival quality so prints don't yellow over time
- 4At least 8"×10" sheets for most rubbing and printing projects
Skip
- Smooth bristol board (too slick for rubbing techniques)
- Watercolor paper (too textured, absorbs unevenly)
Used for: Block printing urban textures · Making rubbings of architectural details · Relief printing neighborhood patterns · Creating archival-quality prints
