VPCo Printmaking

This paper is made using 100% cotton and is internally sized. It is made in one size, 140lb, 300gsm, Quarter Imperial. 

 

To help us show the wide range of printmaking disciplines this paper can handle we asked master printmakers Highland Print Studio of Inverness to produce some samples from their catalogue on our paper. The inks used were provided by Cranfield Colours.  

These prints will be shown at SGCI Printmaking Conference in Las Vegas in April.
