Frequently Asked Questions
Is this actual 140 lb watercolor paper?
No. This is a watercolor-finished printing paper. It is specifically engineered to be thin enough to pass through home printers easily while still providing the visual and tactile texture of genuine art paper.
Can I actually paint on this with water?
While you can add light wet-media accents or markers, this paper is primarily designed for printing. For heavy watercolor washes, we recommend traditional heavyweight watercolor blocks.
Does it work with Laser printers?
This paper is optimized for Inkjet only. Laser toners may not bond correctly to the pebbled surface, and the high-heat fuser could affect the delicate finish.
