NEW PAPER FOR ALCOHOL INKS

[DebbieinOC]

If you enjoy Alcohol Inks you might want to check out Sandy Allnock's latest blog post. She tested a new paper called Mineral Paper with her AIs -- it's made from rocks! Bottom line: works as well as Yupo and it's HALF the price. Gotta love a product that saves some dough. Here's a link to Sandy's post:

Mineral paper has been around a long time, Lydia recently had a blog post/video using it: https://understandblue.blogspot.com/...m_medium=email

Is this similar as the clay coated paper that Ranger used to sale? I know Yasutomo is a higher end brand.

I know mineral paper is calcium carbonate. I also know clay coated paper can be calcium carbonate too. I didn't know if Ranger used a different formulation.

Ranger's glossy card stock/alcohol ink card stock are clay coated - still available.

Are the Arches & Ranger's cardstock the same or is there a difference? I really love clay coated and mineral paper to work with. I don't want to buy something that is similar to what I already own. Thank you for any help.

I have Ranger Glossy card stock & alcohol ink card stock - they're the same just different labels. I also have Yasutomo multi media mineral paper - it is much thinner than the card stock & more matte.

I don't know anything about Arches.

Thank you so much for the comparison. I don't know why I said Arches when we are talking about Yasutomo, lol. I will blame it on peri brain and hot flashes. I would love a thinner mineral paper to work with. I will definitely be checking it out.

I have been on the look-out for Alcohol ink paper. I have Yupo and Duramax (sp?). I found that photo paper works great. Now that I get my photos printed for me, I have lots of photo paper for my ink projects!

Oh I have lots of that as well! Thanks for the idea; I’ll check it out

Photo paper gives different results. The back works better.

I saw that someone had good luck with poster board, which is pretty inexpensive. I bought some, but haven't yet tried it.

That sounds interesting. I would not have thought to try that. I might have to get some poster board just to see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

Poster board also die cuts beautifully...i buy the metallic posterboard and die cut...its also sturdy which is another plus...

[lylacfey]

I love Poster Board too for alcohol inks and die cutting. It is a dream to work with.
