The manufacturer of Artistico watercolor paper is a world renown Italian mill located in the north central region of Italy that dates back to the mid 13th century - Cartiere Miliani Fabriano.

This range of 100% cotton watercolor papers has experienced changes over the last 10 years, creating some confusion we hope to clarify here: The cold-pressed surface textures have been modified, surface qualities such as soft-pressed have been discontinued, the sheet is no longer 4 deckled edges (2 natural & 2 cut edges) and the range is no longer watermarked.

It is also important to note that the paper has a "running watermark" along the long dimension - it is not localized like most sheets.

The changes in the mill's paper ranges have not taken away from the allure and beauty of this mill's arsenal of quality student and professional art papers.
