Innova Cold Press Rough Textured Natural Whit... Reviews
Not as good as I had hoped
The paper is a nice weight and much more reasonable than the Moab Arches version but the color is not even close. For some paler images it may work well.
Fine quality soft watercolor paper
Rough texture is inaccuate. This is a soft smooth watercolor (dimple) texture in a natural, off-white color.I tried this paper as a replacement for the rough textured Bergger PN33, which has been discontinued, but it's much smoother than that paper, and yet quite lovely in its own right. I tried printing some color bird and flower illustrations that I had scanned from books (with descreening filter on my Epson V750 Pro) and the results were stunning on both my Epson Artisan 50 and Epson Pro 3880 printers. It didn't perform quite as well with certain color photos that look better on matte papers with a hard smooth finish, so this is a paper that will be great for some apps and less so for others. But when you want a soft, smooth surface with a dimple-like watercolor texture in a heavy 315 gsm weight, this is a very good choice, and the price is suprisingly reasonable for such high quality. I also tried it with a black and white portrait that I manipulated in PhotoShop to look 100 years old, and it worked very well for that, giving a kind of photogravure look. Note, the non-printable side has a rougher texture, and I mistakenly printed that side first, believing it must be the correct side since they call this rough texture, but make no mistake: This is a soft smooth finish with a subtle dimple texture. And I must say for certain apps it's excellent. I even tried staining a print sepia brown with much-thinned oil-based wood stain, and then applied four coats of spray oil-based gloss varnish (letting each coat dry two days) and it held up really well and produced a rich deep look. This is a fun paper with some versatility and excellent quality. Give it a try.
