Paper Options

Text Paper

------------

The text paper used in our journals and sketchbooks is a text weight 80lb Smooth soft white paper.  Typical writing paper is 24lb. I prefer using the 80lb because of it's wonderful feel. It keeps the ink from showing through the page so both sides of a sheet are usable. It's great for ink, graphite and mild water mediums.

This paper can be cut with a deckled edge or a soft straight edge.
