Neenah Blotter Paper

You spoke, we listened.  Introducing Neenah Blotter Papers - perfect for making letterpress coasters.

The paper has surface sizing so that the sheet accepts offset printing as well as letterpress, foil stamping, embossing and die custting.  It's also a great paper for fragrance strips and air fresheners.

24pt, acid free, fully recyclable.

Paper for Coasters

We've been getting a lot of requests for paper with which to make coasters.  So...we'll be adding our Blotting paper in the next week or so.  The paper is 370gsm (heavy) and is super absorbant.  Check back for it soon.

Also coming soon:  Canaletto, a 100% cotton paper from Italy.

Creating Coasters (and Fighting Piranhas)

Mike Dacey a.k.a. Repeat Press of Somerville, MA created some sweet custom coasters.  Check out his intricate process from beginning to end and listen to Jack White play the blues.  Some might print as well, but few can make it look cooler.
