Yupo paper is a synthetic, non-porous material made from polypropylene.
While some alcohol-based markers might work, traditional markers may bead up or not adhere well due to the non-porous surface. It is best suited for alcohol inks.
Mistakes can often be lifted or blended using rubbing alcohol or a blending solution while the ink is still wet. Dried ink can be challenging to remove completely.
Yupo paper is acid-free and water-resistant, contributing to the longevity of artwork when stored properly. However, alcohol inks themselves can be sensitive to UV light, so consider using a UV-protective sealant.
The white paper is 86 lb. heavyweight.
Each sheet is pre-cut to 5" x 7".
Watercolors do not adhere well to the non-porous surface of Yupo paper and will bead up. This paper is specifically designed for alcohol-based mediums.
Ensure the surface is clean and free from oils. Use a blast of air or alcohol spray to reactivate and spread the ink if it seems to be setting too quickly.
Use a dedicated blending solution to lift and move colors. Ensure you are using high-quality alcohol inks and clean applicators.
Allow the artwork to dry thoroughly, which may take longer depending on humidity. Consider using a spray sealant designed for alcohol inks once completely dry.
Work in smaller sections or use a blending solution to keep the ink workable for a longer period. Consider using a spray bottle filled with alcohol to keep the surface slightly damp.
Setup: No setup is required. The sheets are pre-cut and ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: This paper is specifically designed for use with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks, Mixatives, and Blending Solution. It is also compatible with other alcohol-based inks and mediums. While it can be used with other dry media, its non-porous surface may not hold traditional mediums like charcoal or pastels as effectively.
Care: Store sheets flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any potential damage or discoloration. Handle with clean hands or gloves to avoid transferring oils, which can affect ink adhesion. After creating your artwork, allow it to dry completely. The water-resistant surface means you can gently wipe away minor dust with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary, but avoid excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents.
