The Canson Somerset® Enhanced Satin has a smooth satin matt surface has a timeless quality which accentuates all the detail in the final print without any distractions. The 100% cotton paper contains no optical brighteners, and the natural white base adds colour, depth, and vitality to the final print. The proprietary inkjet coating guarantees superb image quality and longevity, which is essential for both limited and open edition digital fine art prints.

Somerset® is a traditional printmaking paper which has been used by artists for a range of time-honoured techniques such as intaglio, etching, stone lithography, silkscreen, relief printing and letterpress.
