What is Fine Art Linen Paper? (And Why It’s Worth It)
When it comes to choosing art prints, paper might not be the first thing you think about—but it should be. The type of paper used can completely change how a piece looks, feels, and lasts over time. That’s why all of my art prints are printed on Fine Art Linen Paper. It’s a beautiful, high-quality material that adds depth and richness to the artwork—both visually and physically.
Here’s what makes it special:
🌿 A Subtle Woven Texture
Unlike flat, smooth paper, linen paper has a delicate woven texture that gives each print a tactile finish. This texture catches the light softly and gives the artwork a more dimensional, organic feel. It’s subtle, not distracting—just enough to bring extra life to the details and colours.
🖐️ Substantial Feel at 350gsm
“GSM” refers to the weight of the paper—grams per square metre. At 350gsm, this paper is thick, sturdy, and luxurious in the hand. You can feel the quality immediately. It doesn’t curl or bend easily and holds up beautifully when framed. It’s made to last.
🎨 Matte Finish That Enhances Colour
The matte surface means no shine or glare—so all the focus stays on the artwork. It also gives colours a more natural, velvety appearance. Dark tones stay rich, lighter tones remain soft, and every brushstroke or linework comes through clearly.
🕰️ Archival Quality – No Fading or Yellowing
Fine Art Linen paper is acid-free and archival. That means it won’t yellow, crack, or degrade over time like standard paper. The colours stay vibrant, and the print keeps its quality for years—making it a lasting addition to your home.
🌍 Printed in Ireland
Every print is professionally printed and shipped from Ireland, using museum-grade materials. I chose this paper not just for its quality, but because I want my prints to feel like something special—whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting to someone else.
In Summary
Fine Art Linen Paper isn’t just paper—it’s part of the experience. It adds texture, elegance, and durability to every print, and it’s one of the key reasons my art prints feel the way they do. Whether you're drawn to florals, birds, or bold botanical themes, each design is printed to show at its very best.
