Press notes.
Dyed through the core, not surface-coated. The black does not fail under a knife edge, a laser cut, or a steady hand with a folding bone.
Five hundred grams per square metre is the threshold at which paper begins to register as material. Below it, you are pressing against air; above it, you have entered the territory of board.
Cut to A4 and stacked in fifty-sheet bundles. The studio uses these for trial spreads and edition prototypes; you may, too.

From the press.
Sent one card unprinted to a client. They thanked me for the gesture. I had merely run out of ink.
Camille D.Studio principalLyon Cut Abyssal at thirty degrees with a fresh blade. The edge stays black. The corner stays sharp. I have not yet found a use that does either justice.
Lukas P.BookbinderVienna Fed twelve sheets to a Risograph and three to a guillotine. The Riso refused; the guillotine consented. The remaining thirty-five are kept for a purpose I have not invented.
