Conservation Gampi White 14g

Conservation Gampi - White - 14gsm

Exceptional, conservation quality machine-made Japanese gampi. A favourite of printmakers for chine colle, it is strong enough to print on its own. Can be digitally printed when attached to a carrier sheet. Gorgeous for layering with drawing and mixed media.,Rolls are formed on slow machines that distribute fibre evenly. Bleached with gas sarashi, a non-chlorine lightening agent. Made in Kochi by Kashiki Mill, producer of high quality paper for conservation and art. Gampi has high capacity to shrink when wet and dried. Limited use for conservation: sometimes used for repairing vellum.

Gampi was the earliest and is considered to be the noblest fibre, noted for its richness, dignity and longevity. It has an exquisite natural sheen, and is often made into very thin tissues used in book conservation and chine-collé printmaking. Gampi has a natural 'sized' finish which does not bleed when written or painted on.
