*NEW!* Carta Varese Florentine Paper- Bright Green Flowers on Dark Green 19x27 Inch Sheet
The Italian Carta Varese is one of the most traditional European
“fantasy-papers”. Its roots go back to original Rennaissance patterns
used as decoration of chests, cradles, or combs. Carta Varese papers
have been manufactured since the 17th century in Veneto becoming famous
for their variety of colors and small-patterned motifs. In former times
they were all hand-printed by means of a wooden printing block,
bringing a mixture of tempera, dextrin and starch on the base paper. The
block had to be pressed several times on a sheet in order to cover the
format, but a typical blank edge on one side remained. Around the end of
the 19th century lithography was introduced and by the mid 20th century
the production changed to offset-printing, making the papers available
to many more customers.
The printing
process of Carta Varese is elaborate. The two-way and multi-colored
papers are printed in a single-colour machine. Every color is printed
separately, so the paper sheets run through the machine several times, a
method reminiscent of silk-screen printing. This is the reason why the
colors of Carta Varese are so bright and dense even though it is an
offset print.
Carta Varese is not only beautiful but
also substantial. The base paper is a
100 g/qm ivory paper, uncoated and acid free.
