The front cover and first page arrived damaged in the bottom corner. All other pages are also bent in the same corner.

I have been playing with different kinds of paper for use with india ink and light watercolor sketching. It absorbs your pigment very fast and you cant really work it over too much like you might be able to with watercolor paper. Probably makes it good for printing though. The thing that this paper has which makes it all worth the extra planning in watercolor is the gorgeous texture. It gives the work just a slight aged look. Everything looks like a crisp old print (obviously). The transparent colors are made extra luminous by the little bit of texture. It dries well and doesnt buckle too much. I find it really rewarding to use. As for how it works for press printing? I dont know but I suspect it would work. It grabs ink and keeps crisp edges

Just what I needed for my first letterpress printing.

I absolutely love this paper for nature printing! LOVE IT!!

Quality, heavier weight paper. I am using it with a large gelli plate. Works well.

Just what i needed for my project. Excellent quality. Highly recommend!

This is thick paper. It’s like card stock. The texture is perfect for relief printing. I use this size, cut each sheet into quarters and print my business “thank you” cards on it.

I love this paper it takes ink and paper very well. I really see a difference if so t use this paper : and it’s strong can handle washes .

Great paper! I love strathmore and this came in great shape

great size for the small prints Im trying out, paper is thick and absorbs the ink pretty well
