Description
The Jackson’s Somerset Printmaking Pad delivers a professional-grade paper designed for artists who value tradition and quality. Containing 10 sheets of 300gsm Somerset paper in a larger 28 x 38cm format, this pad provides ample space for more ambitious printmaking projects or detailed compositions.
Made in the UK from 100% cotton, Somerset has earned its reputation as one of the finest papers available for printmaking. The soft white velvet surface offers a beautifully smooth yet tactile texture, enhancing both bold impressions and delicate tonal shifts. Suitable for a wide range of processes, it performs superbly with etching, drypoint, woodcut, linocut, and lithography.
The heavyweight 300gsm construction provides excellent stability, ensuring sheets withstand the pressure of a printing press without distortion or warping. Its internal sizing ensures even ink absorption, producing clean, consistent prints while preserving fine detail. As an acid-free and archival-quality paper, it also guarantees the longevity of your artwork, protecting against yellowing or degradation over time.
This larger pad size is ideal for artists seeking flexibility, whether for professional editions or exploratory practice. With its heritage and reliability, the Somerset Printmaking Pad continues to be the preferred choice of fine art printmakers worldwide.
