Review: Nice paper - This paper have a nice smooth surface. I didn't think it will be so smooth so for my purpose I didn't work. Will finish the first drawing and see how it goes.
Review: Wonderful Watercolor paper - Premier 100% cotton watercolor paper. Hard to beat. Paint puddle easy to pick up because paper retains moisture longer. Strokes on paper actually look better than they do on cheap, cellulose paper. Big difference in learning curve. This paper makes learning easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does every page has the brand name stamp?**
A: Arches watercolor paper that comes from a pad or a block DOES NOT have the brand imprint/watermark on the paper.  Only the large, single sheets of Arches, measuring approx 30" x 22", will have the brand stamped into one of the corners. The artist can then tear or cut these sheets into the custom sizes needed.  Hope this helps!

**Q: does every page has the brand name stamp?**
A: Only when you but single sheets. The imprinted logo doesn't come on pads, as far as I know, and I've purchased the rough blocks, rough pads, cold press and smooth press pads. I bought 4 - 20 inch sheets last week and they DO have the imprint on the bottom of each one. Hope that helps :)

**Q: Can you print on this paper with a standard at-home printer? I am hoping to use this for wedding invitations.**
A: Not exactly sure and I don't want to try it out as I think it is too heavy, but I use 67 pound paper for cards.  I think the 140 pound paper might be too heavy.  I use Wausau Exact Bristol 67 lb medium card stock semi-smooth surface.  It comes in a package of 8 1/2 by 11 with 250 sheets.  It comes in a variety of colors and is available from Amazon.com.  I fold it twice to get a card out of it and there are readily available envelopes as well.  My envelopes are Office Depot, Baronial invitation envelopes 24 lb weight 4 3/8 by 5 3/4 inches.

**Q: Are there any animal products used in this paper?**
A: Yes, it is gelatin-sized so it is NOT a vegan paper.
