A nice bright versatile white, the Artistico Extra White is available in two weights (140- and 300-lb) and four surfaces (hot, cold, soft, and rough). The new hot and soft presses mimic their previous Uno counterparts, but the new Artistico Extra White cold and rough presses offer more texture. The new cold press is comparable to the old Uno rough press, while an entirely new and enhanced rough surface has been created to finish off the Artistico Extra White line.
