Available in two sheet sizes; buffered with calcium carbonate and lightly sized.

Both handmade and mouldmade papers are still being made today in the city of Fabriano following traditions that have made this the center of Italian paper making since the thirteenth century. More than 40 mills flourished along the River Giano, which by the l5th century, exported their papers throughout Europe and North Africa and were praised by Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. The Fabriano papermakers can be given credit for several innovations in papermaking such as the use of gelatine instead of starch as a sizing and the invention of the hydraulic hammer for the preparation of the pulp. But it is the creation of the watermark, which is perhaps Fabriano's most important contribution, since its use allowed for the identification of a sheet of paper and its maker. Indeed, Fabriano is still widely known for the intricate watermarks that adorn their sheets including the photo-watermarked varieties that were used for Italian currency. Today, Cartiere Miliani Fabriano is a massive operation, still comprised of numerous mills, each with their own special grades of paper. The special texture of Murillo's surface and heavy 360 gsm weight are the principal features of this exquisite range of 19 colors. Made from 15% cotton/85% sulphite, this neutral pH paper is lightly sized and suitable for light water techniques. It has a beautiful wove surface that makes it particularly suited for deluxe editions and other book arts. Its body and weight makes it ideal for embossing techniques, and it can also be used for printmaking and drawing. Named after Bartolom?steban Murillo, these papers reflect his subtlety of color and texture.
Zerkall is a German paper mill dating to the 16th century. They produce some of the finest quality mouldmade papers in Europe. Zerkall is particularly well known for its specialty printing papers. One of the best of the European mouldmade papers for fine book work, as well as for wood engraving, having good printing, handling and folding characteristics. A beautiful range of lightweight wove printing grades. Watermarked with "PZ" symbol.

Both handmade and mouldmade papers are still being made today in the city of Fabriano following traditions that have made this the center of Italian paper making since the thirteenth century. More than 40 mills flourished along the River Giano, which by the l5th century, exported their papers throughout Europe and North Africa and were praised by Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. The Fabriano papermakers can be given credit for several innovations in papermaking such as the use of gelatine instead of starch as a sizing and the invention of the hydraulic hammer for the preparation of the pulp. But it is the creation of the watermark, which is perhaps Fabriano's most important contribution, since its use allowed for the identification of a sheet of paper and its maker. Indeed, Fabriano is still widely known for the intricate watermarks that adorn their sheets including the photo-watermarked varieties that were used for Italian currency. Today, Cartiere Miliani Fabriano is a massive operation, still comprised of numerous mills, each with their own special grades of paper.
