Canson Arches BFK Rives® Pure White 310gsm 36 in. x 50 ft. Roll - Inkjet Paper

ARCHES® master paper-makers have been producing very high-quality fine art papers since 1492, and today ARCHES® is the only paper mill in France using a traditional cylinder mould process for all its papers. BFK Rives® Pure White is a prestigious paper and offers artists, print-makers and photographers alike the ability to create digital fine art prints on an authentic ARCHES® paper for both limited and open edition work. 

BFK Rives® Pure White is a 100% cotton paper which has a perfectly balanced soft grain that brings out the detail in every image. This unique print-making paper base is manufactured on a traditional cylinder mould press at the ARCHES® paper mill, one of the oldest paper-makers in France. As a result of using 100% cotton and the time-honored manufacturing process, the paper has a very soft and supple feel. The paper is completely free of any optical brighteners (OBAs), but has a pure white tone brighter than many papers which do use OBAs.

The unique inkjet receiving layer produces prints with superb color rendition, deep blacks and pure whites offering photographers, artists and print-makers the opportunity to create images with superb tonal range, excellent highlights and mid-tones.
