NAME CHANGE ALERT
- Aurora Art Natural 285 is now Aurora Art Natural 300.
The change represents an increase in the basis weight of the paper to 300 gsm. Weight is the measure of density or how much cotton and coating make up the paper. The increase, while modest, is due to changes in the manufacturing process.
The paper thickness of 18 mil remains unchanged.
If you have used Aurora successfully in the past, you will not see any change in the paper's usability.
