Endsheets
Most endsheet offerings are pastel papers, not only do they assist with the rigidity of the book, but they also make sure that every surface can be used for creativity. I keep the following in stock:
Canson Mi Teintes : 160gsm, Made in France, double sided honeycomb and fine grain
Hahnemuhle Ingres : 150 gsm, Mould made in Germany, 100% Alpha Cellulose, fine ribbed soft surface

Custom Materials
Oxide Press specializes in using unconventional materials for cover cloth. Fabric is one of the biggest polluters, and by using fabric that might otherwise go to the dump, we can help keep fabric out of the waste stream!
