Somerset is a very popular grade of printmaking paper from the historic St. Cuthbert’s Mill in the UK, first introduced in the early 1970’s.
In the early 1990’s, working together the mill, and based on demands of the printmaking community, we helped take what was once a limited range and expanded it to become the most complete offering of mouldmade printmaking papers every manufactured by one mill.
In addition to its popularity in printmaking, Somerset found success as a wonderful drawing paper due to its soft handle and supple feel in all three surfaces.
It also became a deluxe paper for the stationery industry, working equally well with letterpress, engraving, thermography and embossing.
