Arches Velin Text Wove Calligraphy & Ink Paper

Arches Velin Text Wove is ideal paper for calligraphy and ink!

Crafted using traditional cylinder mould techniques, this exquisite calligraphy paper delivers that coveted handmade quality without the wait. The gentle rotation of the mould coaxes fibres into perfect alignment, creating a beautifully uniform surface with authentic deckle edges. At 119 gsm, it punches above its weight—literally thick and substantial yet wonderfully lightweight. The delicate grain strikes that sweet spot between texture and smoothness, while impressive mechanical strength means your ink work stays put. Best part? The tactile experience is pure joy—soft, supple, and impossibly noble to the touch.

Perfect for:

Calligraphy, pen and ink, pastel, charcoal, bookbinding, letterpress, screen-printing. Gelatin surface-sized: limits the paper’s absorption capacity (ink does not bleed or penetrate into the paper) and guarantees good resistance of the fibres. The pen nib glides effortless and smoothly over the paper.

Conservation-ready:
Acid-free, no optical brighteners, and a built-in alkaline reserve. It meets ISO 9706 standards for permanence — so your artwork stays museum-worthy for decades.
