The same paper as the block, loose and full size, ten sheets to a pack. Buy these if you stretch your own, if you work larger than the block, or if you want to tear down to an odd format rather than accept ours.
Shipped flat in a rigid board sleeve rather than rolled. A rolled sheet keeps a memory of the curl for months and fights you every time you tape it down.
The specification
Everything we know about this item, stated plainly. The same record is printed on the card in the box.
- Composition
- 100% cotton rag, acid-free, internally and surface sized, cold-pressed. Chlorine-free. Ten loose sheets.
- Dimensions
- 560 × 380 mm per sheet
- Weight
- 300 gsm per sheet; 1.29 kg the pack
- Finish & variation
- Moderate cold-pressed tooth. Two true deckle edges and two torn, so no sheet has four straight sides — that is how a mould-made sheet is finished and it is not a cutting fault.
- Made
- Mould-made on a cylinder machine at a mill in Somerset, England, then rested and sized before it is cut. Two true deckles per sheet, two torn.
Care
- Store flat, in the dark, away from a radiator or an exterior wall.
- Handle by the edges — skin oils resist a wash and show as pale patches later.
- Stretch or tape the sheet down before a heavy wet wash.
Cautions
- Not for flooding unstretched. A 300gsm sheet will cockle under a heavy wash and will not lie fully flat again once dry. Stretch it, tape it, or use the 640gsm.
- Not archival once it has been worked with a non-archival medium — the sheet is acid-free, but what you put on it may not be.
- Deckle edges are irregular by design and vary sheet to sheet. Do not order expecting four machine-cut edges.
