Mohawk Superfine

“Journal”
80T / 118 gsm
25% Cotton
Eggshell Finish, Soft White

Mohawk Superfine is the finest printing paper made today. No other paper has the same reputation for quality, consistency and uniformity. Superfine inspires great design with its superb formation, lush tactility, and timeless appeal. Kat uses the 80T weight in all of the writing/sketch journals because it’s twice as thick as a Moleskine journal, resists bleedthrough, and it’s even handled light watercolor and ink applications.

Colored Pencil | Graphite | Ink | Marker | Pastel
