Sunset Cotton Etching Paper 285g is a versatile paper for reproducing paintings, drawings, photo restorations for wall art, memory albums, greeting cards, postcards, and presentations. The slightly textured surface resembles the papers used on the etching presses used for intaglio printmaking.
The special matte coating supports detail, rich blacks, and exceptional color reproduction. The base paper is a combination of 25% cotton linters and 75% alpha cellulose (high-grade, acid-free/lignin-free wood pulp).
Sunset Cotton Etching Paper 285g can be used on many pigment and dye ink printers from Canon, Epson, and HP.

| Software Settings | The coating on this product is engineered for better than 300% ink coverage. A heavy-weight coated, or Enhanced Matte setting is the appropriate starting point. However, we recommend that you try different settings to achieve optimum performance for your specific application. |
| Color Matching | For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and/or color matching software. |
| Finishing/Post Processing | No post processing or finishing is required on this paper. However, a clear fixative may be applied to enhance certain areas of the print. |
| Light Fastness | The fading time of ink jet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose, as well as the environment where the print is displayed. All dye-based inks fade noticeably under direct sunlight and in interior applications where direct sunlight may fall on the image, and/or, where fluorescent or other UV lighting is present. Although the fading process is inherent in all ink jet inks, certain UV enhanced inks, pigment-based inks, and UV inhibiting coatings will extend the longevity of ink color. Contact the ink manufacturer to determine a specific ink’s suitability for a particular application. LexJet’s Sunset line of fine art materials all meet the Fine Art Trade Guild Standards for Limited Edition Prints (otherwise knows as the Blue Wool 6 test). |
