Designed specifically for calligraphers, especially for people who are learning or practicing calligraphy, it can also be used for other purposes such as writing letters. Special emphasis was put on paper quality, which has been tested with many inks. It suffered no feathering, blotting or bleeding through with most inks. The paper has a high degree of smoothness, which makes it non-scratchy and unmatched in calligraphy with a dip pen nib; sharp pointed, flexible or broad. The good quality and smoothness of paper is important at every stage of learning calligraphy, but especially at the beginning because it saves the beginners a lot of frustration, problems and discouragement when learning to write with dip pen nibs.

Art Essentials Calligraphy paper is an ecological paper from renewable sources, is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and is acid and chlorine free. The paper is certified for archival purposes and is suitable for storage for at least 200 years.
