Review: As promised - Very reliable professional grade for water color painting Review: Bol su için yaratılmış bir kağıt, kolay yipranmiyor, ayrıca kağıttan boyayı kaldırma potansiyeli yüksek, ayrica cold press versiyonu dokusu itibariyle ince taneli (diğer markalardaki gibi yüzeyi sert değil) o yüzden detay çalışmasına da uygun. Renkleri cok guzel yansitiyor. %100 koton çok uzun ömürlü bir kağıt. Ne yazikki fiyati çok yüksek, çalışmaya başlamadan önce ucuz kagitlarda sketch yapın, iyi planlayin ve öyle baslayin! ## Features - Prized Paper - The long fibers in Arches natural white 100% cotton watercolor paper provide timeless beauty and an inimitable touch; this rich paper is available in multiple sizes and 3 revered textures: cold press, hot press and rough - Superior Strength - A cylinder mold process distributes cotton fibers evenly to provide exceptional resistance to scratching and erasing without tearing or linting; it allows our cold pressed watercolor paper to slacken uniformly when wet for outstanding control - Exquisite Quality and Functionality - All Arches watercolor pads for painting are pH-neutral with a harmonious natural grain and no optical brightening agents; each sheet is easily removed from the edge-glued pad ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01EQHJH10 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,963 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #50 in Watercolor Paper | | Brand Name | Arches | | Color | white | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (8,730) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03700417950925 | | Included Components | Contains one pad with 12 sheets, 300 GSM | | Item Dimensions L x W | 30.5L x 22.9W centimeters | | Item Type Name | ARCHES 140 LB CP WATERCOLOR PAD 12 SHEET | | Item Weight | 340 g | | Manufacturer | Arches | | Material Type | Paper | | Paper Finish | Uncoated | | Paper Size | ANSI B (9 x 12 inches) | | Paper Weight | 30 | | Recommended Uses For Product | watercolor painting, gouache, ink, and acrylic art projects | | Sheet Count | 12 | | UPC | 370041795099 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arches - **Colour:** white - **Material:** Paper - **Paper finish:** Uncoated - **Sheet size:** ANSI B (9 x 12 inches) ## Images ![Arches Watercolor Paper Pad, 140 pound, Cold Press, 9"x12" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iGTIgBiQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: does every page has the brand name stamp?** A: Arches watercolor paper that comes from a pad or a block DOES NOT have the brand imprint/watermark on the paper. Only the large, single sheets of Arches, measuring approx 30" x 22", will have the brand stamped into one of the corners. The artist can then tear or cut these sheets into the custom sizes needed. Hope this helps! **Q: does every page has the brand name stamp?** A: Only when you but single sheets. The imprinted logo doesn't come on pads, as far as I know, and I've purchased the rough blocks, rough pads, cold press and smooth press pads. I bought 4 - 20 inch sheets last week and they DO have the imprint on the bottom of each one. Hope that helps :) **Q: Can you print on this paper with a standard at-home printer? I am hoping to use this for wedding invitations.** A: Not exactly sure and I don't want to try it out as I think it is too heavy, but I use 67 pound paper for cards. I think the 140 pound paper might be too heavy. I use Wausau Exact Bristol 67 lb medium card stock semi-smooth surface. It comes in a package of 8 1/2 by 11 with 250 sheets. It comes in a variety of colors and is available from Amazon.com. I fold it twice to get a card out of it and there are readily available envelopes as well. My envelopes are Office Depot, Baronial invitation envelopes 24 lb weight 4 3/8 by 5 3/4 inches. **Q: Are there any animal products used in this paper?** A: Yes, it is gelatin-sized so it is NOT a vegan paper. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As promised *by N***D on 14 October 2019* Very reliable professional grade for water color painting ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***R on 23 November 2024* Bol su için yaratılmış bir kağıt, kolay yipranmiyor, ayrıca kağıttan boyayı kaldırma potansiyeli yüksek, ayrica cold press versiyonu dokusu itibariyle ince taneli (diğer markalardaki gibi yüzeyi sert değil) o yüzden detay çalışmasına da uygun.
