Magnani Revere Paper: Felt, Suede & Silk 22x30Magnani Revere Printmaking Papers were developed to be suitable for all drawing and printing techniques at an affordable price, while maintaining the quality and integrity expected from a 100% cotton sheet. Acid- and chlorine free, Revere offers consistency and versatility.
Magnani Revere Felt Finish has a pronounced, felt-like texture on both sides. It accepts ink beautifully and is wonderful for charcoal and pastel.
Magnani Revere Suede Finish has a light texture on both sides. This lighter weight is perfect for bookbinding and has 2 deckle edges and 2 cut edges.
Magnani Revere Silk Finish has a smooth, soft finish. Like all the Revere papers, it is made using energy generated by water tubines and fibers sourced from tree-free 100% cotton linters. Sheets are watermarked and have 4 deckle edges.
