Kitakata Review

I have been using Kitakata for chine colle in printmaking. I like how strong it is, even when it is quite wet or when it has adhesive on it. It doesn't pull apart when it comes out of the press and is pulled away from the plate. Wish it came in a bit more colours. A light blue would be nice.
