FAQs

What is the primary advantage of using 100% cotton paper?

100% cotton paper provides exceptional longevity, a luxurious feel, and superior archival qualities compared to papers made from wood pulp or other fibers.

Is this paper suitable for both color and black and white prints?

Yes, its natural white tone and fine texture make it highly versatile, rendering both vibrant colors and subtle monochromatic tones with excellent detail and depth.

What does 'archival quality' mean for this paper?

Archival quality means the paper is acid- and lignin-free, ensuring it will not yellow or degrade over time when stored properly, preserving your prints for generations.

Do I need a special printer for this paper?

No, it is compatible with most inkjet printers, but using a high-quality printer with good color management capabilities and custom profiles will yield the best results.

How does the textured surface affect the print?

The finely textured felt surface adds a tactile dimension and a subtle aesthetic depth, enhancing the visual quality and giving prints a more traditional fine art feel.

Can I use this paper with dye-based inks?

While pigment inks are recommended for maximum archival stability, high-quality dye inks can also produce excellent results on this paper. Check your ink manufacturer's recommendations.

What is the best way to store prints made on this paper?

Store prints flat in acid-free sleeves or portfolios, away from direct light, humidity, and temperature fluctuations to ensure their longevity.

Troubleshooting

Paper jams in the printer.

Ensure paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled. Check that the paper guides are snug against the paper stack. Verify the paper is not curled or damaged. Try feeding one sheet at a time from the manual feed tray.

Colors appear dull or washed out.

Verify that the correct paper type and weight are selected in the printer driver. Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for the paper and ink. Try printing with higher quality settings.

Ink smudging or not drying properly.

Confirm the correct paper settings are applied. Some papers may require longer drying times; allow prints to air dry completely on a flat surface before handling or stacking. Ensure the printer is not set to overly high ink saturation levels for this paper type.

Uneven ink coverage or banding.

Perform a printer head cleaning and nozzle check. Ensure the printer driver and ICC profile are correctly installed and selected. Consider printing a test strip to check for consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Printer Settings: Select the appropriate paper type (e.g., 'Fine Art Paper', 'Matt Paper', 'Cotton Paper') and weight (350gsm) in your printer driver settings. It is highly recommended to create custom ICC profiles for your specific printer and ink combination for the most accurate color reproduction and to ensure optimal ink drying.
  2. Loading Paper: Load sheets individually into the manual feed tray, ensuring they are placed flat to prevent jamming. Avoid overfilling the tray.

Compatibility:

  • Printers: Compatible with most high-quality inkjet printers (pigment and dye-based). Always consult your printer manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with heavy fine art papers.
  • Inks: Best results are achieved with pigment-based inks, which offer superior archival properties and color gamut on fine art papers. However, high-quality dye inks can also yield excellent results.

Care:

  • Handling: Handle prints by the edges using clean, lint-free cotton gloves to avoid transferring oils and fingerprints.
  • Storage: Store prints in an acid-free environment, such as archival sleeves or portfolios, away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
  • Cleaning: Avoid any liquid cleaners. If dusting is necessary, use a very soft, dry brush or a gentle feather duster.
