Premium Matte or Cotton Matte? A Paper Guide
Both of our papers have a matte finish. The main choice is the surface you prefer: smooth and simple, or a little more texture.

Cotton Matte
320 gsm · 100% cotton · lightly textured
A good choice if you enjoy the feel of a textured art paper. It has a heavier paper weight and a gentle surface texture.
What does gsm mean? Grams per square metre describes paper weight. A higher number means a heavier paper per area; it does not describe an exact thickness or the artwork’s size.
How to decide
| If you prefer… | Consider… |
|---|---|
| A smooth surface | Premium Matte |
| A gently textured surface | Cotton Matte |
| A heavier paper weight | Cotton Matte |
| A matte rather than glossy finish | Either option |
Choose your paper on the product page to see the current price for the size you want. It is a preference, rather than a rule about which artist belongs on which paper.

A few practical questions
Will the paper change how colours look?
Paper surfaces, screens and lighting can affect how colours appear. Product photographs are a useful guide, but not an exact colour guarantee.
How should I handle a print?
Use clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface. Keep prints away from moisture and direct sunlight; use suitable protective glazing if you frame them.
Is a frame included?
No. Frames and room accessories shown in display photographs are not included.
