Arches 88 Paper is crafted using a traditional cylinder mould process, where slow rotation ensures the cotton fibres are evenly deposited for a strong, uniform sheet. Made from 100% cotton, this paper has an exceptionally smooth, satiny surface, offering a luxurious feel for professional printmaking.

Designed for high-performance printing, Arches 88 Paper is unsized with excellent absorbency, making it the ideal surface for screen printing, while also perfectly suited for intaglio engraving, letterpress, blind embossing, hot-foil stamping, and lithography (when not soaked). Its homogeneous structure and excellent dimensional stability allow multiple layers of colour to be applied without distortion—essential for complex screen-printing projects.
