Using Shredded Paper To Recycle Paint

Unlike some shredded paper that is crinkled, B&H shredded paper is non abrasive, perfect for packing fragile glass items.

Using with Makerbot2x. It prints great and it's one less color i have to paint. The spool is larger than the one that came with the original Makerbot.

Using for on location photographic lighting. Soft box is nice. Recycle time is decent. Nice price for a nice strobe. Daylight balanced. Cons: Can't adjust by fstop. Can't adjust temperature.

I paint in oils and watercolors from which I am now producing limited edition giclees using a Canon ImageGraf Pro 2100. I bought this pack of 25 so I could do many proofs in preparation for the larger giclees from the 24x39 roll of the same paper. No fault of the paper I had to throw out more than half because I was calibrating and color correcting my images as I printed to get them right. I figured the small price of the pack was worth it and about 10 were sent to the art gallery to sell at $75 each. Now those corrected, almost perfect images are saved and no more wasting paper on them. Not until I go to the next batch of art images that I am turning into giclees. Learning curve I call it. This is beautiful textured paper that retains every brush stroke on the original oil painting. The colors are fully saturated and distinctful. I downloaded the ICC profile from the Hahnemuhle website to use in Photoshop CS6. I am so in love with my printer and the giclees it produces now. I use a Canon Mark II to photograph my original art, then correct the images for giclees.

No issues working with Epson Stylus Pro 3800. I color profiled with ColorMunki and the results were similar to Epson's Matte Canvas profile. Either one was fine- just had to increase exposure a little before printing. It was challenging using rear feeder but I had no issue feeding cut sheets in the regular feeder- just taped photo paper to the back to keep stiff. Cut up paper with guillotine to size. I paint on top of the printed canvas with acrylic paint and am really happy with the results.

I use this paper for images I digitally paint and/or work on in mixed media. The weight of VFA paper gives me a lot of latitude in how I choose to use it, and the prints are rich in color and clarity. Just make sure your printer can print paper this thick.

I was looking for some paper, preferably cards that I could use for Christmas prints. This was a perfect choice. The paint goes so smooth, the colors are bright, love it.

Using the right paper and cartridges means everything. You can't go wrong with Canon paper.

Paint works fine!
