Description
The Jackson’s Somerset Printmaking Pad offers premium quality paper designed specifically for fine art printmaking. Each pad contains 10 sheets of 300gsm Somerset paper, in a compact 19 x 28cm size, making it perfect for smaller prints, proofs, or experimental work.
Crafted in the UK from 100% cotton, Somerset is renowned for its exceptional durability, softness, and archival quality. The soft white velvet surface provides a luxurious texture, giving prints excellent depth and detail while retaining subtle tonal variations. This makes it highly suitable for a wide range of techniques, including etching, drypoint, lithography, woodcut, and linocut printing.
The heavy 300gsm weight ensures stability under the press and resists buckling or warping, while the internal sizing allows for even ink absorption and crisp impressions. Each sheet is acid-free, guaranteeing long-lasting preservation of your artwork without discolouration over time.
Compact and easy to handle, this pad is ideal for artists seeking a portable, high-quality paper option for studio or classroom use. With its prestigious reputation and superb performance, Somerset paper remains the professional’s choice for printmaking excellence.
