Legion Yupo 200 g/m² Roll
Yupo is a non-porous, acid-free and pH-neutral synthetic paper, which is machine-made in the USA from 100% polypropylene. It is absolutely water and stain resistant and has become a unique and fascinating alternative to traditional art paper due to its strength and lifting properties.
The super-smooth surface enables the creation of nuances and patterns that would normally be impossible to achieve on traditional watercolor and drawing paper. Since it can be wiped clean, you have the possibility to rework certain areas until they meet your requirements, or build up layers of color using a technique similar to oil painting.
This paper is easily tear and crease resistant, so you don't need to stretch it or work on it in any way before starting work. Yupo has a particularly smooth surface and can be used with a combination of different media, including watercolor alcohol paint, acrylic paint, monotype, offset printing, embossing oil pastel, graphite and screen printing.
As a highly resistant plastic, Yupo normally enters the waste stream much more slowly than conventional paper. Because it is a polypropylene (PP) plastic film, it is fully recyclable and remains inert in any approved landfill. When it is safely incinerated in a modern incinerator with an excess oxygen atmosphere, only water, carbon dioxide and ash are produced.
When you have finished a work, remember to spray the surface of the Yupo paper with a matte clear coat or finishing spray to keep the work stable.
