Printmaking Paper

Our Printmaking Paper collection features dedicated printmaking sheets in a range of sizes and weights chosen for relief processes like lino and woodblock printing. You’ll find smooth, strong papers that take ink evenly, work well for hand burnishing or press printing, and pair nicely with inks and tools from our wider Printmaking collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/printmaking

If you’re new to lino or block printing, start with the versatile sheets in our Printmaking Paper collection which are designed to handle repeated inking and burnishing without tearing. Combine them with starter tools and inks from the Lino & Block Printing collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/lino-block-printing

The papers in our Printmaking Paper collection are optimized for relief and block printing, but many sheets also work well for monoprints, simple screen prints, and experimental techniques.

In the Printmaking Paper collection you’ll find a variety of sheet sizes suitable for everything from small cards to larger editioned prints. Many artists like to buy larger sheets and trim them down for multiple prints, test swatches, or greeting cards. You can also mix these sheets with sketchbooks and pads from our Paper and Pads collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/sketchbooks planning, proofs, and quick studies.

Most of the sheets in our Printmaking Paper collection</a> are designed with fine art printmaking in mind, and many are acid-free or made to support long-lasting, editioned work. Because specifications vary by brand and surface, we recommend checking each product description for details on cotton content and archival qualities, and pairing your chosen paper with artist-quality inks and tools from our Printmaking collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/printmaking

Alongside paper from our Printmaking Paper collection, most relief printmakers will want a carveable block, cutting tools, block printing ink, and a brayer or baren.
