Somerset® Enhanced Satin White is produced by St Cuthberts Mill, based in England. The mill uses a traditional cylinder mould to manufacture a paper that looks and feels as though it is handmade. St Cuthberts Mill have been making paper since the 1700's, and today manufacturers the Somerset® Enhanced digital fine art range.
The smooth satin matt surface has a timeless quality which accentuates all the detail in the final print without any distractions. The 100% cotton paper contains no optical brighteners, and the natural white base adds colour, depth, and vitality to the final print. The proprietary inkjet coating guarantees superb image quality and longevity, which is essential for both limited and open edition digital fine art prints.
The Somerset® Enhanced range is available in a range of weights, including 330gsm and 225gsm and sizes. The Somerset® Enhanced rolls are available as 12 metre rolls from 17” up to 60” wide and sheets are available in A4 through to A2.
Somerset® is a traditional printmaking paper which has been used by artists for a range of time-honoured techniques such as intaglio, etching, stone lithography, silkscreen, relief printing and letterpress. The same traditional fine art paper is now available for photographers, printmakers, and artists alike to reproduce digitally their original artwork as a limited edition by using the Somerset® Enhanced digital fine art papers.
