PA112. Stillman & Birn Paper 8.5"x11" Packs.
These highly sought-after papers have both internal and surface sizing, making them ideal for calligraphy with pencil, pen or brush. The sizing keeps the ink/paint on the surface of the sheet -- you get vibrant colors, crisp edges, and no bleeding, and the paper withstands erasure well.
25-sheet pack of Stillman & Birn fine paper, 8.5"x11" sheets. Choose:
Alpha: White, Medium Grain, 150gsm.
Beta: White, Cold Press, 270gsm.
Delta: Ivory, Cold Press, 270gsm.
Epsilon: White, smooth finish, 150gsm.
Gamma: Ivory, Medium Grain, 150gsm.
Nova: 3 colors (Black, Beige, Grey), Medium Grain, 150gsm.
Zeta: White, Smooth finish, 270gsm.
The papers come in three surfaces.
Medium Grain: distinctive tooth, suitable for all dry media, and will also accept multiple washes.
Cold Press: Substantial tooth (but smoother than Cold Press watercolor paper), enhanced wet and tear strength, suitable for mixed-media artwork.
Smooth: Suitable for pen & ink, colored pencils, water-based markers as well as watercolors. Two weights: 150gsm and 270gsm.
For comparison: Arches Text Wove (120gsm); watercolor paper 90lb(185gsm), 140lb (300gsm).
The Gamma is similar to the now discontinued Diploma Parchment paper.

Great paper, unfortunate barcoded label on EVERY sheet
I love this paper -- it's heavy weight (270 gsm) and has a nice, toothy quality with no ink spread, so I found it very nice on which to write with dip or fountain pen. Unfortunately, out of a pack of 25 Zeta, 8.5 x 11 sheets, I was dismayed to find EVERY sheet had a barcoded sticky label adhered to it (in the corner.) These labels proved quite impossible to remove from the sheet without damaging the paper. I have no idea why this was done/- these were not even the full-size sheets. Needless to say, this made my calligraphy job unnecessarily time consuming. Worst case scenario, I had to cut down the paper to a smaller size which made my order a bigger waste of money. This was the first order in over 10 years that I had not been completely satisfied. I hope it will also be the last.
