Paper Passion Play
Many people ask about the paper I used to create my monoprints. It is beautiful, sparkling white and archival and it's called 470 paper. Widely used in the bio-pharmaceutical industry in clinical labs as an absorbent pad for culture media or as blotting and wicking paper. It is a thick, absorbent, smooth-surfaced cotton linter paper used for filtration.
It has no binder, so is very susceptible to water. Typically the end rolls of this paper would be tossed into the dumpster. Thanks to my husband, Peter, who rescued many from that awful fate, supplying me with enough paper for half a lifetime!
Please frame your print under glass to protect it from dust and moisture. ENJOY!
