What a watermark says about your paper – it’s a symbol of quality, made according to time-honored craftsmanship. Watermarks generally will state the percentage of the paper’s cotton content and its brand.
What a watermark says about you – that you’ve chosen wisely. The watermark sends a message even before ink is applied.

Cotton Papers
From the first moment to its enduring memory, cotton is a touch of class. Cotton paper makes first impressions more impressive with distinct crispness and an unmistakable feel. Someone picking up your document will know before they even read a word that there’s something special to it. Cotton fiber also provides archival durability – it’s the reason so many historic documents are still with us even centuries later.
Acid & Lignin Free - Archival Quality
Southworth® papers are the finest archival quality papers available. Removing lignin, a component of wood pulp, and other acidic materials from the papermaking process is among many exacting steps of producing our fine papers. We do it because it matters: lignin- and acid-free papers won’t yellow with age.
