The Olino Paperworks Gampi Paper is a handmade paper rooted in Japanese tradition, now made from fibers of the Gampi plant grown on organic farms in the Philippines. It combines traditional craftsmanship with a refined surface and excellent versatility, which is why it is appreciated by both artists and makers working in printed applications.
What makes it stand out immediately is its smooth, silky surface on both sides. Unlike many handmade papers with a more visible texture, Gampi offers a cleaner, more refined feel while still preserving the distinctive character of a handmade sheet. It is durable, works beautifully with both dry and wet media, and responds very well in more demanding techniques.
Its traditional production is done by hand: the bark is processed, boiled, and beaten, the pulp is carefully spread over large frames, and the sheets are naturally dried before being smoothed and checked one by one. Even today, Gampi paper production remains handmade in small local workshops, supporting communities and traditional skills.
It is a paper with many possibilities. It can be used for fine art, bookbinding, printmaking, chine collé, lithography, monotype, relief work, letterpress, inkjet printing, and other demanding applications, while also being suitable for quality office printing. It is an excellent choice for those who want a thin yet strong handmade paper with a refined surface and high-quality results.
