These papers usually have much
less size on the surface to allow absorption of the ink
but are internally sized to give strength (especially
when dampened). Rag papers, because of their longer fibres,
are particularly good for intaglio work where the paper
is put under a lot of stress during printing. We now have
an increasing choice of smaller papers for computer printing
of artwork.
SYSTEM
3 FOR SCREENPRINTING
The addition of Screenprinting or textile printing medium to
System 3 acrylic colour enables it to be used as a solvent-free
screen paint. Remember to wash screens with water before the
paint dries.

solvent free and pigment based. It covers well and hardly affects
the soft fabric feel. Suitable for cotton, polyester, silk and
most synthetic fabrics. Permaset supercover enables you to print
