Only the large, single sheets of Arches, measuring approx 30" x 22", will have the brand stamped into one of the corners. The artist can then tear or cut these sheets into the custom sizes needed. Hope this helps! **Q: does every page has the brand name stamp?** A: Only when you but single sheets. The imprinted logo doesn't come on pads, as far as I know, and I've purchased the rough blocks, rough pads, cold press and smooth press pads. I bought 4 - 20 inch sheets last week and they DO have the imprint on the bottom of each one. Hope that helps :) **Q: Can you print on this paper with a standard at-home printer? I am hoping to use this for wedding invitations.** A: Not exactly sure and I don't want to try it out as I think it is too heavy, but I use 67 pound paper for cards. I think the 140 pound paper might be too heavy. I use Wausau Exact Bristol 67 lb medium card stock semi-smooth surface. It comes in a package of 8 1/2 by 11 with 250 sheets. It comes in a variety of colors and is available from Amazon.com. I fold it twice to get a card out of it and there are readily available envelopes as well. My envelopes are Office Depot, Baronial invitation envelopes 24 lb weight 4 3/8 by 5 3/4 inches. **Q: Are there any animal products used in this paper?** A: Yes, it is gelatin-sized so it is NOT a vegan paper. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Watercolor Paper Hands Down *by K***N on July 1, 2026* Hands down, this is my FAVORITE watercolor paper. I know it is expensive but it is worth it! Fabulous absorbency, colors just pop, very durable, and has a great texture. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best watercolor paper! *by S***T on August 24, 2026* Great quality, thick paper ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best price I’ve seen *by M***E on April 4, 2022* This is the best price that I’ve seen on Arches paper so far. I thought I would try this paper because I’ve heard people say it’s the best. I’ve also heard it’s very expensive but it’s the most important thing in watercolors. They say if you’re just starting out with watercolor and want to invest in one good quality item, the best quality paper you can afford is the first thing you should buy. Then they say Arches is the brand of that high quality paper, always followed by, “it’s expensive but worth it”. I find that If you buy it from an art store at full price it is much more expensive. I have been able to find it on Amazon for a much better value. The paper is great and I do get better results when I paint on it. I feel like the paint behaves differently than on cheaper, cellulose paper. I buy this 9x12 paper pad then I cut the sheets down in halves or quarters. This stretches the value a bit further. I find that if I paint on an entire sheet of 9x12 I end up with a lot of empty space around the outside edges of the page anyway. I’m new to watercolor and have been working on composition but a lot of my practice focuses on single subjects. I do a lot of practice on cheaper paper and then bring out this Arches paper for the “higher quality” practice. The “practice” pieces that I don’t mind showing to other people. The cheaper, cellulose paper is a place for me to determine which colors work well for the subject I’m painting, to practice how to hold the brush or even the correct size of brush for the subject I want to paint. Like I said, I’m new to watercolor so I have to start from square one. Once I’ve figured that out I am able to bring out the cotton paper to practice my blending techniques, how much water to use, the different behaviors of all the colors on my palette, etc…. Arches paper is very forgiving for beginners like me because I find that the paper can stand up to the scrubbing and lifting of mistakes. If I accidentally use too much water the paper dries nicely (eventually) enough that the whole piece isn’t ruined. In the event that the piece doesn’t turn out well on the front of the paper I can still use the less textured back side of the paper so that it doesn’t go to waste. The paper is very durable since it’s so thick and made of cotton and it can handle being painted on the front and the back. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arches Watercolor Paper Pad, 140 pound, Cold Press, 9"x12" - Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set, Sketchers' Pocket Set, 12 Half Pan w/ Brush - Arches Watercolor Pad, Cold Press, 9x12 inches, 12 Sheets - Professional Art Paper for Watercolor Gouache Ink Acrylic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/30034357-watercolor-paper-pad-140-pound-cold-press-9x12](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/30034357-watercolor-paper-pad-140-pound-cold-press-9x12) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
