Mouldmade in France, this clear, white paper is recommended for screenprinting and, if slightly moistened, for intaglio.

Arches 88 is a heavyweight (140 lb) 100% cotton fiber paper. It's acid-free, neutral pH, and buffered, and is unsized for high absorption. Each sheet is watermarked and has two natural deckle edges.

Originally created decades ago for the silkscreen process, Arches 88 has found a following for many different types of printmaking.

Ideal for the silkscreen process: it features a very white crisp shade, it is very dimensionally stable, provides a wonderful smooth level surface along with a hefty weight in 300gsm - all the attributes needed and expected from a paper suitable for serigraphy. A silkscreen printer can easily lay down 50 to 100 colours on this sheet without a problem.

Because the paper is completely unsized it is not that forgiving so even one ink spot or splatter would be hard to curate out. This deluxe paper must be handled with great sensitivity and purpose.

About the Brand

ARCHES® offers the most extensive range of fine art papers made on a cylinder mould, maintaining a legacy of craftsmanship that dates back to 1492 when master papermakers began producing paper by hand in the Arches paper mill in the Vosges region of France. Today, it remains the only paper mill in France to manufacture all its fine art and printing papers using cylinder moulds. ARCHES® Aquarelle paper, gelatin sized “to the core,” is a benchmark in the industry, chosen by artists worldwide and uniquely made using this exclusive method. The cylinder mould process, combined with the use of natural cotton, results in exceptionally high-quality paper comparable to the finest handmade varieties. This traditional technique ensures luxury paper that is stable, watermarked, and features a natural grain and deckle edges.
