Arches Velin BFK Rives Printmaking Papers

Arches Velin BFK Rives Printmaking Paper is made using a traditional process on a cylinder mould. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. This paper is 100% cotton with a light, fine-grain surface - the perfect balance that brings out the slightest detail from your print and allows an artist to achieve light and shadow effects, creating contrasts.

Arches Velin BFK Rives Printmaking Paper is homogeneous and has good dimensional stability, making it much easier to position humidified paper when printing. Additionally, the paper can easily withstand repeated passages through the press.

Arches Velin BFK Rives Printmaking Paper is lightly sized giving it a smooth, absorbent surface suitable for all printmaking techniques.

Calcium carbonate is added to give the Arches Velin BFK Rives Printmaking Paper an alkaline reserve that protects it against acid attack from the environment. It is acid-free, with no optical brightening agents added.
