This superb artist grade paper from Saunders Waterford has a
watermark in the corner for authenticity and 4 deckle edges which
are visually beautiful and perfect for float framing.Please note
that while Saunders Waterford High White papers are noticeably
whiter than the traditional Saunders Waterford paper, they still
have a pale cream appearance. This is because it is not currently
possible to whiten the paper to a bright white without compromising
light-fastness by using Optical Brightening Agents. The whiter
shade of Saunders Waterford High White paper is achieved by adding
a high white lightfast pigment with good long-life properties, as
used in some watercolour paints. Artists grade watercolour paper is
archival which means it will not discolour or fall apart over time
and is made of 100% cotton rag. This paper is much more durable
than lower grades of paper because it is gelatine surface sized and
it is mould-made, both of which mean it can take scrubbing of the
surface without falling apart.Please note, this product has a Not
(cold pressed) surface. The surface of the paper is slightly
textured, and is not suitable for extremely detailed work. Most
painters will find it suitable for most purposes. For more
