Perhaps its best quality is its consistency. Mould-made with 100% cotton rag and no optical brightening agents, it is a bright white, smooth, soft and pliable sheet. Dimensionally stable, BFK Rives is a versatile substrate with an absorbent woven surface that is suitable for all forms of printmaking. 

Its smooth surface, soft texture, and light sizing allow it to pick up every detail. It has two natural deckles, and two simulated, being torn at the finishing stage. BFK Rives is available in white, grey, tan, and cream; Blank Canvas carries white and cream.

A question that is often raised is what do the initials BFK stand for? Answer: They were the initials of the owners of the Rives mill in France at the beginning of the 19th century - Blanchet Frères & Kiebler.

The paper is neutral pH, acid-free, buffered, and has deckled edges and watermarked.
