    I have a friend who is making handmade greeting cards and she should read this lens! We have tried making paper for her but sometimes the results are not so ideal. Very informative lens. Thanks

    Great lens. Paper is one of the problems I have here in China. It is very difficult to find a good, quality paper for drawings. Lensrolling to my Drawing Toolbox lens.

    Lance - check out the Somerset printmaking paper motif here http://www.inveresk.co.uk/content/traditional-printmaking-papers. It's not a trident but maybe close to what you're seeing?

    I am having a difficult time trying to identify the maker of printmaking paper I purchased and have been using for watercolour. It is the best paper I've ever EVER used, but instead of having a name embossed as its watermark, there is only a symbol which looks something like a stylized Trident (ala Neptune). Instead of being in the corner, this mark is found in the middle of the bottom edge.

    Does anyone know what papermaker such a mark represents?
    I would be so very grateful to have this mystery solved!

    Laura - good question!

    If you work very big then the best thing to do is probably buy a roll of paper. Most manufacturers make rolls for more popular brands and any good art store should be able to either supply a roll or order one for you. Some of the good online suppliers also provide for you to be able to order rolls.

    Beware - rolls of paper tend to be expensive - but of course they also go on forever - so make sure it's a paper you like first!
