Enhance your fine art and photographic projects with Adorama's premium 8.5x11" Soft White Cotton Art Paper. This professional-grade paper boasts a substantial 0.016" thickness and a weight of 280gsm, ensuring a durable and high-quality medium for your creative expressions. Each pack contains 25 sheets, offering both versatility and affordability for artists and photographers alike.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this paper features a Fourdrinier, acid-free, museum-quality construction with 25% cotton linters, providing a natural white finish that brings out the subtle nuances of your artwork. The slightly textured surface adds depth and character to each print, enhancing the visual appeal of your work.
The archival properties of this paper, being both acid and lignin-free, make it an ideal choice for preserving your prints over time. Its instant dry surface allows for efficient workflow, while the compatibility with aqueous pigment and dye inks ensures vibrant colors and an excellent color gamut. The exceptional D-max of this paper enhances the contrast and richness of black and dark tones, making it perfect for both fine art and photographic open and limited edition prints.
This versatile paper is also well-suited for fine art and fine photographic reproduction and restoration, art and photo portfolios, photo albums, memory books, wedding albums, as well as greeting cards and postcards. Its professional quality ensures that your prints will stand out, whether they are displayed in galleries, sold to customers, or treasured in personal collections.
To maintain the integrity of your prints, it is recommended to handle the paper with care, preferably by the edges and with cotton gloves if necessary. Storing unused material in the original box and finished prints in archival quality packaging will further protect your artwork. For mounting or framing, use only archive-grade tapes and glues to ensure longevity.
After printing, allow your prints to fully dry in the open air for at least 24 hours before stacking. Protecting your prints with a giclee varnish or spray can safeguard them from environmental factors and the effects of UV light. Store this exquisite art paper in a climate-controlled environment, ideally at 15-20°C with a relative humidity of 40-60%, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its pristine condition.
Choose Adorama's 8.5x11" Soft White Cotton Art Paper for a professional and high-quality foundation that will elevate the presentation of your fine art and photographic endeavors.
