Both handmade and mouldmade papers are still being made today in the city of Fabriano following traditions that have made this the center of Italian paper making since the thirteenth century. More than 40 mills flourished along the River Giano, which by the l5th century, exported their papers throughout Europe and North Africa and were praised by Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Raphael. The Fabriano papermakers can be given credit for several innovations in papermaking such as the use of gelatine instead of starch as a sizing and the invention of the hydraulic hammer for the preparation of the pulp. But it is the creation of the watermark, which is perhaps Fabriano's most important contribution, since its use allowed for the identification of a sheet of paper and its maker. Indeed, Fabriano is still widely known for the intricate watermarks that adorn their sheets including the photo-watermarked varieties that were used for Italian currency. Today, Cartiere Miliani Fabriano is a massive operation, still comprised of numerous mills, each with their own special grades of paper.

Saunders Waterford is the highest quality watercolour paper offered to artists by St Cuthberts Mill. Mouldmade using 100% cotton and endorsed by the Royal Watercolour Society of England, this is a paper of pure luxury. Available in three surface finishes. HP (Hot Pressed) is the smoothest, which is great for high detail paintings. CP (Cold Pressed) is a good intermediate surface which is great for most types of paintings. Rough is exactly what its name suggests, a fantastic surface for landscapes and seascapes where the surface can really work with the painting. Each of the three surfaces is resilient to buckling and offers exceptional color stability.A new addition to the Saunders family is the High White colour which complements the original range of 'White' papers with a new whiter shade that's much brighter. A whiter sheet will make finished paintings more contemporary looking, as artists have commented that they felt the original white colour created a more antique look to their finished compositions. The paper you choose should always reflect the image you are trying to create. Rough - If you want to do a landscape or seascape, a rough paper with a surface full of natural peaks and valleys will complement the image beautifully, giving it depth and feeling. Cold Press - A surface in between 'Rough' and 'HP' is the most versatile and can be used for many different types of painting. Hot Press - The smooth surface makes it perfectly suited for delicate brushwork and illustration. The surface sizing eliminates pen marks from feathering making it also suited for calligraphy.
