INKSTON Extra Fine 45 Aged Appearance (light yellow) Xuan Paper
$24.52 – $172.79
Handmade in the most traditional way with spring water, rice straw, and 2 years old Pterocelti Tatarinowii tree barks. It takes 2 years to prepare raw materials and 7 days to make the paper.
INKSTON Extra Fine 45 (light yellow) paper contains 65-70% Pteroceltis Tatarinowii tree bark, with natural colouring from walnut skin to give the appearance of paper that has already been aged hundreds of years.
The fibres are steamed/boiled and the pulp mixed for longer than usual. This makes the paper finer and stronger than normal Xuan Paper. The paper is untreated/unsized (raw/uncooked in Chinese) and is suitable for all purposes and especially recommended for landscape drawings.
This is fine 40gsm paper, in large 138x70cm size (I sheet has a surface area equivalent to 15 sheets A4).
Available in pack sizes:
- 10 sheets large size (0.36kg net weight)
- 25 sheets half-width size (0.45kg net weight)
- 25 sheets large size (0.9kg net weight)
- 50 sheets large size (1.75kg net weight)

I really love this paper! I would absolutely order more of it. I know it’s kind of expensive compared to the machine-made xuan paper, but the high quality of this paper makes it absolutely worth it.
-
Very good landscape paper. This paper is very wide.

All interactions with shop were easy and they were nice. I don’t know much about this kind of paper because I’ve never used it before but it certainly seems good to me.

INKSTON Perfect 80 Xuan Paper is good quality, it has a light yellow tint and good absorbing and bleeding properties. Once in a while some areas do not absorb as well, or there may be an imperfection in the paper (which is natural). I just do not know why some areas act as if there was oil and it resists the ink, and other areas it is fine. Overall, good value for the cost – also versatile for dry and wet painting.

Paper was very well packed, with loving care and arrived in New Zealand in perfect condition and in good time.
Paper is absolutely gorgeous and hopefully l can eventually do it justice. Have included picture of first attempt with Xuan paper, as you can see, room for improvement, but personally l am pleased with result and very pleased with the paper. Only problem l have, is which of the papers to try next.
Thank you ever so much

I´m really excited about it! Strong, nice texture of the handmade paper, high quality… Manipulation with the moistened paper is very good and quite easy.

I am trying to improve my calligraphy and the Expert Calligraphy paper was a ‘present to myself’ to encourage me to practice. It feels wonderful – slightly more absorbent than the semi sized (half cooked?) paper I normally use but of much higher quality.
-
The Extra Fine 45 aged paper is beautiful and will be my ‘standard practice paper’ for the next few weeks. I struggle with getting the correct moisture on my brush and need to practice on just one paper to improve my control.

nice paper to paint on.

This paper has some calcium sizing so the ink doesn’t bleed excessively. Very nice surface.

I bought this for a present for my son’s new girlfriend. I don’t know if she has used it yet but I thought it was gorgeous. -
Delivery took more than I expected, however product is really good. Also I love how it delicately wrapped. Thank you for cute Christmas messages, too!

Beautiful paper! Very similar to my Red Star paper but much cheaper. I use it for my abstract paintings and it works very well.

Suite à cet achat de Papier Xuan, qui est très bien, j’ai eu l’agréable surprise quelques semaines plus tard de recevoir un bon nombre d’échantillons de feuilles différentes. Merci à INKSTON.

Muy buen papel y hermoso por cierto.con esas impresiones doradas que trae.ademas el paquete incluye un muestrario de diferentes papeles,en cuánto color,textura y gramaje.este papel parece conveniente para los que empezamos a probar y no queremos que se esparza demasiado rápido la tinta. Medio encolado o medio cocido suele ir muy bien para acostumbrarnos a la gran absorción que conlleva este gran papel milenario.

Papier, keine Bürste Verified Purchase
Die Artikelbeschreibung hier in Amazon ist nicht ganz richtig. Es handelt sich um Papier, nicht um eine Bürste. Aber die Papiermenge und Qualität ist für diesen Preis absoluter Hammer. -
magnifique
Ce papier est magnifique, il était parfaitement emballé. Il a un coté lisse et un coté plus duveteux comme en général le papier de calligraphie. La couleur est blanche laiteuse, j’adore et je vous le conseille. De plus Inkston a rajouté des informations concernant la provenance la fabrication la composition le tout en anglais mais cela ce comprend facilement. On voit que ce papier est fabriqué artisanalement, on voit la trame tout en finesse. C’est un papier qui va boire, je ne l’ai pas encore essayé mais cela se sent au touché. Je l’adore et vous le conseille, en plus il est d’un bon rapport qualité/prix. -
Bon produit. Papier épais et peu absorbant convenant bien à la peinture chinoise.

Xuan non traité ou xuan semi traité
Apres essai ce papier permet de travailler sans que l encre ou la peinture ne déborde comme sur le papier xuan
Ç est effectivement ce que j espérais et suis donc satisfaite du résultat
Mais je reste fidèle au papier xuan non traité qui m est très agréable au contact du pinceau (plus doux) -
Papier de qualité
Je l ai testé je travaille pour la première fois dessus. Et j ai compris que n étant pas traité il faut être vigilant en ce qui concerne l’aplat du pinceau
Appuyer avec légèreté afin que l eau ne s’étende pas plus qu’il ne faut
J’adore sa transparence et le résultat final est très satisfaisant que ce soit à l encre ou à l aquarelle -
