I do extremely detailed paintings and have always used hot pressed paper. Do you think this paper would be good for very detailed art work?

I bought it to make a mixed media lantern. I bought it because if the smooth surface and sturdiness . I also bought it because I wanted to write on it. I think it would be great for detail work. Not as absorbent as other types of watercolor paper.

Absolutely! That is primarily what I use it for. Once it sets. It can stand quite a bit of wear and tear. As far as paper goes, sometimes the paper becomes slightly transparent when it is immersed in resin, so I would try a test piece first to make sure you like the effect.

Hi Tammy - I use this product on ALL of my paper art, Quilling. It's an excellent product available in a shiny finish or matte finish. Just make sure that you don't saturate the paper. Cover the entire piece in 1 or 2 quick sprays and allow to dry. If needed, do a third pass. I hope this helps

No, this is meant to protect the work on the paper with as little influence on the paper as possible. I would recommend using cardstock, that's closer to playing cards.

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

The thickest paper I have ever used is the Velvet Fine Art Paper. I typically use the Radiant White Watercolor Paper. Both papers are made by Epson.

I use it for card stock, making stamped handmade cards. It's very nice paper.

We bought it as part of a Halloween costume. It's pretty thick so I'm not sure you'd be able to use it for detail work ... maybe if you watered it down a bit and had the right brushes / tools?

Oh yes, in fact this is my favorite type of paper to use with acrylics. I did need to let the paint dry and then place heavy books on the cards to train them flat, otherwise you'll get some curling. But these are good quality and can handle any paint.

I printed a PDF file on photo paper, the results were excellent. I use the printer for pictures; I am very impressed with the quality. Not knowing what illustration and materials you are looking to print, it is hard to say this would be the printer for you.

No it won't work. The ink will smear. I tried to do it from work so it would be faster but the hot basically ruined the paper

I don't think it would work. The paper is quite soft, almost cushioned, and can be damaged if not careful. I would suggest some appliance primer and paint - I've seen good results with the paint. Good luck!

Yes! Just be aware that the lines will be thicker and you'll either need to write bigger or not press as hard. But the color looks nice on a dark paper.

That might be more of a question for a painter. I think it might make the paper more ridged if it is painted and might not roll up again and it might make it harder to cut. You really need the paper to be flexible to make it easier to put on the ceiling.

It is not a smooth surface at all. But does not show texture. If you haven't tried it, please do so. My prints are beautiful on this paper and are perfect for galleries or museums.

It might fall apart depending on what paint you use. The paper is really thin.

Yes, shouldn't be a problem - I used black ink, but didn't notice any issues with the paper being too slick or anything.
