A green and sustainable Fine Art textured paper for unique prints!

Crafted in the Himalayas, the Nepal Lokta takes its name after its origins: a shrub of a small tree of Nepal whose bark is used to produce non standard papers.

Produced by hand by local people, Lokta paper is part of a trade fair.

Lokta paper comes from a shrub that grows in Nepal, high in the Eastern Himalayas: Daphne Daphne papyracea or Cannabina. The Lokta tree grows between 2000 and 3500 m, and has the particularity to fully regenerate within 5-8 years after cutting. The ecological balance is thus maintained while providing an economic activity for the people of Nepal mountains.

A unique texture

Warm and silky, the Nepal Lokta paper boasts an irregular and unique structure for each and every sheet. This explains that the paper weight might vary.

Its striking appearance, near the parchment, the images should be especially in need of texture. The Lokta is not cut on the edges: we then say that it is fringed on all four edges.

Specifications for the service

The paper is completely handmade, the format is indicative, and implies potential change in its:

• Thickness
• Size
• Geometry of the sheet (trapeze, perpendicularity etc..)
• Amount of fiber
• Rightness of tone

These changes bring an artistic touch to each print and make each single print. These changes also make the centering of the image random.

A revolving border of 4 cm is required: the maximum size of your image is therefore 42×67 cm.
