Talas - Silk Tissue

Tissues, Papers & Boards > Japanese Mending Papers

This is a beautiful acid free paper of Japan. Silk Tissue is a mixture of gampi and sulphite. It is an extremely thin shiny tissue. It has a silky feel, is quite transparent and is surprisingly strong for its weight. It has no deckle edge.

Like some of the Japanese papers it is also made from short glossy fibers of gampi. These fibers make the strongest of papers. Gampi fibers are resistant to insects and this resistance makes the paper very long lasting. A special characteristic of Silk Tissue Paper is its glossy smooth and easy-to-write-on surface.

This acid-free paper is used as an interleaving, a mending tissue in conservation work, a chine collé sheet for intaglio printing, aquarelle paintings, as well as for graphics and textiles.

Weight: 3 gms. Natural.
