The Strathmore 400 Series Printmaking Pad 11" x 14" is made for artists who want clean, consistent, professional results in printmaking. Printmaking is both technical and expressive, and to perform well it needs paper that can absorb ink properly, withstand pressure, and hold detail without breaking down. This pad is designed to do exactly that.
The paper is 280gsm, in a natural white shade, with a Medium / Smooth surface. Its weight makes it well suited to demanding printmaking techniques, while its smooth medium finish allows for even ink absorption and a clear printed impression, whether you are working with bold shapes or fine carved detail.
It is suitable for relief printing, including linocut, as well as lithography, intaglio, and screen printing. Its composition, rich in alpha cellulose, gives it strength and structural stability, which is especially important when the paper must respond well to pressure, deep lines, tonal variation, and repeated ink applications.
This is a paper that holds detail well, performs consistently, and supports the process instead of getting in the way. Whether you are making proofs or final prints, it gives you confidence that the impression will come out clean and balanced.
As part of the Strathmore 400 Series, it belongs to the brand’s professional-grade line and is intended for artists who expect dependable performance and premium quality.
