Printed Indian Cotton Rag Paper

Screenprinted Indian Cotton Rag Paper

Acid-Free Block and Screen Printed Cotton Paper Handmade in India

Inspired by textile designs, patterns and colors, Indian Cotton Rag Papers makes an outstanding material for a variety of art and design applications. Indian Cotton Papers are handmade using recycled, refined cotton from rags, clothing and textiles rather than pulp from the cotton seed as with other papers. Consequently, the longer cotton fibers increase the paper's strength, durability, and flexibility. Indian Cotton Rag Papers are acid-free and weigh approximately 80 to 110 gsm.

Block-Printed Indian Cotton Papers are handcrafted using recycled and sustainable materials. These beautiful tree-free papers are made through an intricate process called Block Printing. During this process, each design is hand-carved into a wooden block, then the colorful dyes are applied individually to the design. Once the block is prepared, a single sheet of eco-friendly recycled cotton paper is placed then pressed onto the wooden block to create a natural and contemporary handmade paper. 

Screenprinted Indian Cotton Papers are created as beautiful designs are hand-silkscreened onto the strong and soft base paper. Each color in the pattern is applied individually and allowed to dry. The silkscreening process provides richer colors and more depth than machine printed papers.
