The Strathmore Series 300 Printmaking Pad was created to support the growing community of printmakers — from beginners discovering the medium to professionals refining their craft. As printmaking continues to expand artistically, Strathmore designed this high-quality, innovative paper line to match its needs.
This natural white, lightweight 120gsm paper is ideal for techniques such as linocut, edging, practicing and proofing before final printing. The medium surface is smooth yet durable, capable of absorbing generous amounts of ink while maintaining clarity and consistency. Made in the USA from wood pulp with a high alpha-cellulose content, it offers better strength and stability for clean, reliable prints.
As part of the Series 300 (Better) range, it balances quality and affordability — making it suitable for students, hobbyists and experienced printmakers alike.
