Extremely happy I discovered this paper. So easy to achieve good Lino prints with the weight of this paper… but also extremely durable awesome products- will continue to buy for hand printing.

Beautiful paper, good size and great for gelli plate monoprinting and relief printmaking like linocuts or woodcut. The paper absorbs the ink well and you can see all the details. Highly recommended

Works incredibly well on gelli plate. Just remember to allow lots of time to dry before lifting.

Smooth on one side and slightly toothed on the other, giving the artist a choice when printing an image. Soft hand, pure natural white color. Absorbs paint readily and (most important!) consistently. I saw many YouTube veteran gel printers recommending this paper. They certainly are not wrong.

The paper is of sufficient smoothness and wet strength. I use it for gelli plate printing. I returned a pad because of the condition it arrived in. The corners were dog eared due to the pad not being wrapped. It was just loose in a plastic bag. The replacement was wrapped but shipped in a too small package and it was folded in half to fit! As useful as this paper is, I'm going to have to find another supplier or another type of paper. Also, the price has really gone up.

I can't say enough about how much I love this paper. Perfect for lino cut, or wood block prints. It just feels so nice, two different textures, one side is a little rough, the other is smooth. Can't wait to use it again.

First time buying paper recommended for blockprinting and this is a game changer. I think it’s made in Japan from mulberry. It gives beautiful sharp prints of professional quality. Will definitely be buying more of this.

I use my gelatin plates daily, and this rice paper is my absolute favorite. It's a little thicker than another brand I also use, and I like that this has slightly more weight to it. It's still a very thin and lightweight paper, but it's not translucent like some other rice papers. Due to this I can use this particular rice paper as both a standalone monoprint, or cut/tear it and use for collage. It has a smooth side and rough side. I use the smooth side, and it picks up the paint incredibly well. I often use masks or stencils with intricate details and this rice paper can easily get into all those tiny nooks and crannies. When I'm using it by itself I can add layer after layer of paint without worrying that it will tear or buckle. Sometimes I create my layers through multiple pulls, while other times I'll create the layers on my plate and pull them all off at once. This paper can handle both techniques well. There have been times when I built multiple layers on my plate and then left the rice paper on my plate overnight. Even after being there for 6-8 hours it still lifts beautifully without tearing. When I do use it for collage it cuts easily without tearing. I use either my Gingher 5" scissors, or my Fiskars 18mm snapoff blade utility knife. I'm able to cut small areas easily without worrying it'll rip (I always make sure I'm working with a sharp blade which is why I like the snap off blades). Out of all the paper I use this is the one I reach for most often. If you're looking for a rice paper that will become translucent when using for collage and adding matte, gloss, or satin medium I would suggest a thinner rice paper. While this one may not appear like it's almost melting into the background like a thinner one would it still collages seamlessly. I use it as a piece on its own, or cut it down and adhere to a blank card, or as collage elements. The price is also great too (in my opinion). I would say it's very similar in weight and feel to the Art Alternatives rice paper (which I also like), but at about half the cost.

Good paper for gelli printing at 9” size. The same brand of larger paper is poorer quality, so stick with this size only.
