Saunders Waterford High White
Saunders Waterford has a new paper in its range. The new addition is a ‘High White’ colour which complements the original range of ‘White’ papers with a new whiter shade that’s much brighter.
St Cuthberts Mill made the new ‘High White’ after requests from professional artists who were searching for a whiter shade of watercolour paper, but without compromising on quality that only a professional grade watercolour paper like Saunders Waterford can offer. The base colour of the paper shows through the transparent washes of watercolour, and the original ‘White’ shade of Saunders Waterford could affect the paints. With the new ‘High White’ shade the paints pigments will appear more vivid, and with more sparkle, giving the whole painting a fresher look.
A whiter sheet will make finished paintings more contemporary looking, as artists have commented that they felt the original white colour created a more antique look to their finished compositions.
Available in an identical range as the original 'white' Saunders Waterford paper.
Somerset Photo
fine art inkjet paper
Blacks printed on Somerset Photo have a high d-max and the base paper is a Bright White colour with low amounts of OBA used to achieve this. It is designed for use in the photographic and fine art markets. It is a surface coated product that is engineered to be compatible with all good quality inkjet printers. The paper, in combination with wide format inkjet printers using pigmented inksets, can reproduce a wide colour gamut and is able to achieve high density values (d-max).
Somerset Photo is made from 100% cotton linters. Linters contain a very high percentage of alpha cellulose, the purest form of cellulose. It is made on a traditional Mould Machine, using woollen felts to impart a delicate texture to the surface of the sheet. The resultant sheet has a high whiteness value, without resorting to excessive use of optical brightening agents.
