Product Description
Somerset Enhanced, a Great British paper from St Cuthberts Mill in Somerset, is our favourite fine art watercolour paper. As specialists in making quality and archival artist s papers, their inkjet range shares the same texture and feel of an authentic art paper, but with the exceptional depth of colour normally associated with glossy photo papers for their reproductions.
The paper has an invisible coating that allows you to produce a print with a very high resolution and a wide colour gamut. After printing the ink looks like it s in the paper, not on it, giving a slight softness to the image. Meanwhile the 100% cotton, 225gsm acid free base sheet is buffered to protect the work from attack by atmospheric pollutants. Prints are almost indistinguishable from than those made on professional wide format machines with an excellent tonal separation throughout the range, minimal ink speared and almost instantaneous drying. Each sheet is made to archival standards using a traditional mould machine.
It comes in three surface textures, 'satin' the smoothest, 'velvet' a middle finish and 'textured' a rough surface for full effect. We are carrying packs of A4 and A3+ in 25 sheets and A4 sample packs of 6 sheets for only ?4.99.
St Cuthbert does also make a unique double-sided ink-jet watercolour paper called Bockingford. This lovely 190gsm textured surface paper is the cheapest watercolour paper we sell.
