Notes

# Hand dipped paper is not always perfectly uniform in thickness.

# Because these paper samples are quite small, it is easy to overestimate the thickness. When you receive the full-size sheets, they may thus be thinner than you expect. Please be careful.

# Although our paper products are all sized or processed so that pigments won't spread, you may need to add sizing in special cases. We can't accept orders for unsized paper or extra sizing.

# We are no longer dealing with some papers from our old catalogue.
