What type of paper is best for letterpress printing?
Thick, spongey cover stock is best. We use Somerset 100% Cotton 300 gm Soft White and 300 gm Radiant White as our “house” #1 grade sheet for customers who want the best possible. We also carry Strathmore 110 lb Wove cover, which is thick, but is a stiffer sheet. It is more economical, especially in the higher quantity orders, but doesn’t get quite the depth of impression that Somerset does.
