About Arches paper: Arches paper is high quality, air-dried paper that is preferred among printers and watercolorists. It has a warm-white colour and can be found in hot-pressed, cold-pressed, and rough varieties. Arches paper is valued for its durability, and is made in the village of Arches in the Vosges, France. Arches watercolor papers are mouldmade with 100% cotton fiber content. They are acid-free, pH-neutral, gelatin-sized, and air-dried. The history of the Arches brand starts in 1492. That year, the Arches site completed the amalgamation of the papermaking facilities around the village of Arches, south of Epinal in France. The Moulins Arches turned to the production of high quality paper for the period's most famous writings and most beautiful art publications. The mill thus printed incunabula (the name given to the first printed books) such as the "Chronique de Gutenberg" by Durer.
