Yasutomo JMP200 Sheet Multi Media Mineral Review

Excellent paper for alcohol ink. Retains perfectly bright colors and feels very soft. It doesn't warp or wrinkle when soaked in alcohol, and the ink spreads as well as it does on Yupo paper, without a glossy finish.

New Yupo-like drawing pad but much thinner, coated with calcium carbonate, feels like a smooth eggshell. Water color flows less, but dries on the surface like Jupo. Great for an artist who wants to draw more freely.

Having adjusted the painting technique for this non-absorbent paper, I now prefer it for my paintings. The paint gives an organic look as it puddles and dries slowly. I finish off with a good fixing spray and the result is a strong flexible plastic type.

I love this paper. I use it for alcohol inks and it works just like the Yupo (at a much better price)! it's thinner and more flexible than the Yupo, but liquid flows just as nicely over its smooth surface. I thought it would warp, but it didn't (I'll write it down as I work with it). Highly recommended.

I love this substrate for alcohol ink. It's not as heavy as Yupo, but also cheaper. Depending on the brand of ink and mixing solution you use, you may need to make minor adjustments to get the same results as the Yupo. I have only found two sizes of mineral paper so far and wish more outlets would sell this wonderful product.
