The rag & paper are very similar in appearance, with the main difference being that the Cold & Hot Press are slightly more creamier in colour. All three have a matt finish.The rag (Cold Press) has an elegantly textured 100% cotton fibre base, it feels and looks like paper. It is slightly creamier and has a more uniform texture than the German Etching.The German Etching has a more organic looking texture and the colour is a natural white, but needs to be handled with care as it can be a little flaky.We also offer the Hot Press, this has all of the attributes of the Cold Press but has a smooth finish.
