This is very useful for me. I used hosho paper for the first time this week. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to use the trainer side or the smooth side to print. I used both anyway and I liked the results of both. I love textured work so the rough side I like to look at but the smooth side was easier to work with as it stuck to the block well and I could rub the print. The paper was extremely expensive for me but I’m glad I tried it.

I love Japanese papers and have collected paper for years, a bit of a weird obsession lol. Would you ever use a coloured paper to print on? Thanks (-: Marion

I guess if I had a good reason I’d use colored paper 🙂

Hi Laura, I went online to buy paper after watching this video (thank you) ... I couldn't find any US source for the Yo-Sho paper pads - however, I did find many Awagami factory papers in various weights/colors/sizes ... one of the papers had a 5 pk and a 25 pk, and the color that was listed for them was "Yo-Sho" ( which by the photo I'm assuming means "white" in Japanese - is this assumption correct, is that all Yo-Sho means?) ... thank for your reply, hoping you have a wonderful weekend.

HOSHO....actually Awagami's 'Hosho' & 'Hosho Select' washi papers are actually made for printmaking by Awagami's Fujimori family while the inexpensive Hosho pads is a 'student' grade paper that is actually an industrial style paper made for commercial offset printing / packaging - You will notice a huge textural difference between them....but we all have our particular budgets and preferences

Craig is quite right - I have just printed a demo print for the filming this week on Awagami Hosho as opposed to the kind from the pad that I used on the livestream. I’d actually got baking parchment to protect the paper as the pad paper was getting battered. The Awagami version was as fresh as a daisy under the same punishment!

What weight is the ho sho paper that Handprinted sell in a pad please? I have ho sho on a roll and it looks a lot lighter and tends to get a "halo" of what looks like oil around the edges not long after printing when I use a lot of extender (although at present I don't use as much as you do but am looking to increase the extender due to the wonderful effects you achieve)?

I’m not sure - about 90? - give them a call and ask. It’s not on the pad

@@LauraBoswellPrintmaker Thanks Laura, Shirley at Handprinted is not sure either but guesses about 90gsm as well. I think mine is lighter than that but still waiting for a response from my supplier here in Oz.

Will rice paper for Japanese calligraphy work for the wood block printing? I am trying to work on a tight budget 😂

Hi no you want something a bit stronger when wet . Fabriano academia works OK

Used Graphic extender for years : “Easy Wipe” left an oil “ring”. Did this happen with your work? Now use Akua inks!!

@LauraBoswellPrintmaker 4 жыл бұрын

Was that a water based product or their oil based range?

@arlenesmith3959 4 жыл бұрын

Laura Boswell. It was oil based and worked like a dream. All my original instructor’s work was affected. It was called “Easy Wipe”. I am not sure that is even made anymore..Try 40 years ago!!! I often wondered why she didn’t use a clear base...
