Fine-Art Matte Prints on Canson Aquarelle Rag 310

Paper Description

Canson Aquarelle Rag is a museum-quality watercolor paper designed for fine-art inkjet printing. With a rich, textured surface that recalls traditional cold-press watercolor sheets, it offers exceptional depth and detail for both color and black-and-white images.

What sets Canson Aquarelle Rag apart is its natural, warmer base tone, lending prints a subtle glow that enhances skin tones, earth palettes, and atmospheric work. The warmth of the paper gives photographs and artwork a gentle luminosity—perfect for portraits, botanical studies, or paintings where a softer mood is desired.

By contrast, Arches Aquarelle Rag, also manufactured under Canson’s Infinity line, carries a brighter white base. While Arches emphasizes crispness and contrast, Canson Aquarelle Rag leans toward a more organic and inviting aesthetic. This warmth makes it especially appealing for artists and photographers who wish to reproduce pieces with a timeless, tactile feel, or who value the nuanced balance between detail and softness.

Like all papers in the Infinity collection, Canson Aquarelle Rag is 100% cotton, acid-free, OBA-free, and designed to meet museum conservation standards—ensuring durability, stability, and a sustainable choice for fine-art printing.
