Printmaking Paper & Pads

The paper you print on is as important as the block you carve — it determines how ink transfers, how detail is captured, and how the finished print holds up over time. Choose based on weight (lighter for relief work, heavier for intaglio and framing), surface texture (smooth for fine detail, textured for character), and fibre content (cotton rag for archival editions, wood pulp for proofing and student work). Pads offer studio convenience, while individual sheets give you flexibility to cut to fit your block.
