Hereford is a high-quality, smooth printmaking paper made in the UK, developed to deliver crisp, clean impressions across a wide range of printmaking techniques.

Its exceptionally smooth, untextured surface is particularly well suited to lino and relief printing, allowing fine details and solid areas of ink to print beautifully. It also performs well for woodblock, letterpress, engraving and intaglio work.

A versatile and reliable paper for both artists and professional printmakers, Hereford offers an excellent balance of quality, performance and value. The paper was manufactured here in the UK to replace the ever popular Zerkall Printmaking Paper which sadly closed in 2022.
