This special line of Japanese papers can be used with inkjet printers, silkscreen printing, or any kind of relief printing, such as letterpress.  Alternative photography processes can also be applied, such as historical photography printing, cyanotype, Vandyke Brown, and Platinum/Palladium.

Papers include Mino Washi, hailing from the Mino area in Gifu, Japan, identified by code "G". This line of washi was made coated specifically to use for the inkjet process.

For more on the alternative photography printing methods, please read our blog's Artist of the Month feature, which discusses the process and washi used:
