The paper's intended use is already in its name: Aquarello is specially formulated to meet the requirements of watercolor painting. It is sized in the pulp and on the surface, which reduces its absorbency. It is a pure rag paper, i.e. consists entirely of cotton and is produced on a fourdrinier machine at a very low speed. As a result, the fibers do not align themselves so strongly in one direction and there is not such a dominant running direction. The paper is therefore more homogeneous and has similar properties in all directions. The paper is alkaline buffered, so acid formation is prevented for years.

All the properties described make the paper an outstanding painting surface for watercolors. However, the paper is no less suitable for other wet techniques. You will also have a lot of fun with the paper if you work on it with ink, brush pens, ink or gouache.

Sustainability at Carta Pura

For Carta Pura, beauty and human scale are the orientation and reason for action. It therefore goes without saying that Carta Pura products are particularly sustainable.

The pads, folders and stationery double cards, books, notebooks and calendars from Carta Pura have been produced for many years in small businesses in the Munich area and in Baden-Württemberg. Rivoli and Carta Pura paper is produced in Holland. The envelopes made from these papers come from Düren.

Carta Pura calculates the quantities sensitively: no more is produced than can be stored and probably sold. If, for example, calendars are left over, they are given away to kindergartens or social institutions.

Carta Pura only travels by train on business trips within Europe and uses public transport or walks in the cities.

At Carta Pura, ten people from four nations work together in a spirit of equality and co-creation. Their love of paper determines their actions.
