Watercolor #9

A new watercolor and illustration (click to see larger) in lots of shades of pink :) I'd like to make some prints - does anyone have any paper suggestions for printing at home?

I'll second the epson paper--in a lot of the research I've done for paper/ink/archiving the epson presentation paper holds the ink longest. Of course, that depends on the printer and type ink you use, too.

I like to use strathmore watercolour paper..I get the great big sheet and cut it down to size (I like to print 4x6 at home) then I seal it with Krylon.

Hi! I just researched papers for my watercolor prints for my Etsy shop. Innova Cotton Rag fits right in my inkjet printer. I purchase a small pack from www.fineartinkjetpapers.com. i also use Hahnemuhle paper from them too. It totally feels like a lovely watercolor paper! Good Luck!

Elsa Mora had her paper choice in one of her posts. Sorry, I can't remember exactly. But, I do have a print, and it is quite nice.

Try acetate paper for transparency. It's like tracing paper. Thank you for your wonderfull blog.

My husband just took a silk screen printing class and he bought everything he needed from Dick Blick over the weekend so he could continue. I would take a look there.

Epson Presentation Paper Matte (Formerly Matte Paper-Heavyweight)--I like a lot for printing scanned paintings. I also like to print photos on this paper sometimes and then decorate with pencil, just for fun.

I also use Strathmore Digital Papers "Texture", I don't know how great the quality is, but it looks cool once printed. That I get at Aaron Brothers and I haven't seen it anywhere else.

I know you can google printing papers and some websites pop up that sell sample packs if you want to really get into it and experiment.

I can't wait to see what you do, I love your paintings!
