INGRES ARCHES MBM PAPER 130 G/M²

Arches Ingres paper was designed by the Arches mill for the artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, and subsequently established itself as the standard for charcoal and pastel drawing, and has now been copied by factories all over the world.

The acronym MBM comes from the name of the owners, Morel, Bercious and Masure, who first introduced the cylinder mould machines in 1883.

Arches laid paper is manufactured on a cylinder mould machine and contains 75% cotton in its composition, has a grammage of 130 gsm, natural white colour, no optical brighteners, and neutral pH. It has two natural deckled edges and two torn edges, has an exceptional feel, a spongy appearance and texture similar to that of handmade paper. It is a type of laid paper of great regularity that enhances the lines and gives a touch of distinction to the drawings.

Ingres paper is particularly suitable for the following techniques:

Pastel drawing, charcoal, sanguine, pencil drawing, ink and in general all dry techniques. It can also be used, although it is not specially indicated for it, in printmaking techniques, watercolour, typography, screen printing, etc.
