 We post here a list of fine art papers that we (at
least one of our editors) used and liked. There are certainly many
more papers available that have
high
standards
and good quality.
We started with the paper list from our book "The
Art of Fine Art printing 2006" DOP3003 which
also contains a lot more useful information on papers (properties,
trade-offs and more).
Paper Categories
- Matte fine art papers
- Fiber based Baryta papers
- Satin/glossy coated rag papers (new emerging
category)
- Satin papers with a very soft gloss finish
- Luster/pearl papers
- High gloss papers
- Specialty papers and canvas
- Papers for fine art proofs (not proofing
for printing press)
