Arches BFK Rives Paper 56x76cm

Made from 100% cotton this paper has a luxurious feel and weight with a light fine grain.

Ideal for pencil, pastel, charcoal, graphite, felt pen, lithography, intaglio engraving, relief printing, linocut, letterpress, screen printing, hot foil stamping, bookbinding, heat embossing and collotype printing.  When using this paper for printmaking a press will be needed.

Made on a cylinder mould the quality is close to that of paper made by traditional craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is therefore more homogeneous and has 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.
