Lightweight yet strong, this sheer pH neutral rayon paper is a
favorite among surfboard artists for custom logo applications and among
chine-colle’ artists when layering, due to its ability to meld almost
transparently into the subject matter it is laminated to.
It is recommended to print on the shiny side of this paper. This
paper can be screen printed, block printed or digitally printed. For
digital prints, the “carrier method” is recommended, since this rayon
paper is too thin to feed through a digital printer on its own. The
carrier method uses a base paper or plastic sheet as a base to
carry the thin paper through the printer. Then the printed paper is
removed from the base after printing.
To achieve this, the paper is trimmed smaller than the carrier sheet
and either taped to or adhered down to the carrier sheet before
printing. If adhering vs. taping, several artists have recommended
adhering it to a plastic carrier sheet. The
paper is layed on top of the carrier sheet and brushed with
an adhesive precoat such as inkAID Clear Semi-Gloss
to temporarily laminate it to the plastic so that it doesn’t move when
going through the printer. Precoating can also aid in better ink
application results from your printer. Once the precoat is dried, the
laminated sheet is run through the printer and the printed sheet is then
peeled away from the carrier sheet.
