Made on a cylinder mould (traditional process), Arches 88 Paper quality is close to that of paper made by craft methods. The slow turning of the cylinder enables the fibres to be deposited evenly and spread in all directions over the wire. The paper is homogeneous and has good dimensional stability, an essential quality for the screen-printing process, which sometimes requires the application of several colours in succession. Only papermaking on a cylinder mould can produce paper with deckle edges.

Unsized, its absorbent capacity is very high, which avoids setting-off. ARCHES 88 is a printmaking paper especially well suited for silkscreen printing. Also suitable for the gravure process and lithography (as long as the paper is not soaked).
