Micro-spray technology works
The micro-spray finish makes the paper feel incredibly smooth under the brush. It handles heavy ink loads well without tearing, which is crucial for my large character practice.

Good value for bulk purchase
Bought this for my calligraphy class. Students find the grid lines helpful for structure. The wax dyeing adds a professional look to finished pieces. Would recommend for intermediate learners.

Perfect for Exhibition Work
The grid lines are printed very lightly, allowing the ink to stand out without distraction. The wax-dyed surface gives a beautiful texture that judges at our local competition appreciated.

Great quality, slight color variance
The paper quality is top-notch for the price. The 28-grid layout is my favorite for standard couplets. One sheet had a slightly darker tone, but it didn't affect the writing experience.

Best for Vertical Scripts
I specifically needed vertical style paper for a poetry collection, and this fits the bill perfectly. The 56-grid option provides excellent guidance for small regular script.

Excellent Ink Control
As a semi-sized paper, it strikes the perfect balance. The ink doesn't bleed uncontrollably like raw Xuan, but it still allows for rich tonal variations in my cursive script.
Q: Can I use this paper for water-based practice before using real ink?
A: While you can use water for temporary practice, the wax-dyed surface is primarily designed for permanent ink application. Water may not show the same effect as it would on raw Xuan paper.
Q: Does the wax-dyed surface prevent ink from spreading too much?
A: Yes, the wax-dyed and semi-sized treatment significantly controls ink spread, making it ideal for precise character work while still retaining some natural absorption for artistic expression.
Q: Is this paper acid-free for long-term preservation?
A: Yes, our Xuan paper is made using traditional methods that result in a neutral pH, ensuring your artwork remains preserved and does not yellow significantly over time.
Q: What is the difference between the 28-grid and 56-grid options?
A: The number refers to the density of the grid lines. 28-grid is suitable for larger characters or running script, while 56-grid offers finer guidance for small regular script or dense compositions.
Q: Do the grid lines fade if I mount the artwork?
A: The grid lines are printed with lightfast ink designed to remain visible but unobtrusive. They generally do not interfere with mounting, but we recommend testing a spare sheet with your specific mounting paste.
