Re: Arches fine art (watercolor) paper made for inkjet

2010-04-20 by Bert

Phil,
   I am interested to learn more.  I have a stash of UNCOATED Arches 140# Cold Press in the size of 34 x 46".  It was sold to me as 'natural' but it looks more like the Cold Press Bright White and when I print on it I use an Arches Bright White custom profile.  Officially I believe the Iris size is (was?) 35 x 46.75".  From my art school days I remember these large size watercolor papers were called elephant, double elephant and triple elephant (something like 40 x 60").  The sizes varied according to the manufacturer.  
  Would you be willing to share your source or supplier of this large size Arches coated paper?

Best,
BertGF
