20LB
70lb

Smooth White 80lb

Thicker and smoother than a regular printer paper. Great for quick prints, flyers and zines

Bristol text

Bright cream color with a Bristol slight toothy texture to the touch. Since Riso inks are transparent what you print on this paper will be tinted with a cream color.

Eggshell

You can feel the texture as soon as you touch the paper and notice it in the light. Adds instant value to a thinner print. Best for art prints but can be used to make other stationery items. It is a bit harder to fold.
