I am looking for an oversize paper that is not too heavily sized. I am going to be using for an installation project in which the embossed components will be infused with scent that when rubbed across, the viewer will pick the scent up on their fingers so it needs to be a resilient paper that will take touch. Paper will be mounted on the wall. I want a velvety almost blotter like surface or feel to it but will stand up to multiple people touching it. I need it in white. Any suggestions would be helpful. ;just wrote down all the oversize papers and characteristics and would like to order some samples. thanks!
Sounds like a great project. I'd suggest a paper with little or no surface sizing (to absorb the fragrance) and internal sizing (so the paper holds up to handling/touching). You'll also want a heavy weight (for the same reason). Here are a few suggestions:
Somerset Satin 500gsm 60"x50yd rolls Revere Felt 330gsm White 42x56.5 Rising Museum Board 60x104 4ply Coventry Rag Smooth 335gsm 60"x50ft
thanks!
