A pattern paper by Cambridge Imprint.

Cambridge Imprint is a small paper-making business in Cambridge, England, designing and printing patterned paper. The design partnership of painter Claerwen James, textile artist Jane Powell and ceramicist Ali Murphy, renowned for their beautiful colours, joyful illustration and typography and a lively, hand-drawn aesthetic.

Simple hand-stencilled screen-printing is used to create the original designs, and then spot-colour lithography to replicate that studio process in manufacturing the final paper product. The result is a matte paper of unparalleled intensity and clarity of colour.

Their influences are eclectic, but it has often been noted that their patterns have a particularly English quality, with a palette that is both sober and exuberant.

Each sheet is printed in one or two custom-mixed inks on uncoated paper to create a high-quality matte paper with a hand-printed feel. This paper is a perfect weight for wrapping - light enough to be folded easily, but completely opaque. A popular choice for bookbinding, boxmaking and a variety of craft projects.
