Dako-Art PROSO Millet Bird Food 200g

Dako-Art PROSO 200g is a heavyweight art paper supplied as a continuous roll designed for large-format printing, drawing and craftwork. With a basis weight of 200 g/m² the paper offers greater stiffness and reduced show-through compared with standard lighter sheets, making it suitable for posters, templates, sketches and studio projects. The roll format allows uninterrupted lengths for cutting to size and for use on plotters, wide-format printers and worktables where longer sheets and variable dimensions are needed.

Advantages

The 200 g/m² construction provides improved body and stability while remaining compatible with many traditional dry and some wet media. The roll format reduces joins and waste for large projects and is convenient for continuous workflow in ateliers, classrooms and print shops. The surface texture is formulated for even ink hold and pencil adhesion, helping to reduce show-through and deliver clear lines and printed images on a thicker substrate.

Suitable for

• Large-format inkjet and plotter printing (check printer compatibility)
• Poster and banner production
• Sketching and drawing with pencils, charcoal and pastels
• Templates, mock-ups and pattern cutting in design studios
• School and craft projects requiring thicker paper

Key specifications

• Weight: 200 g/m²
• Format: roll (continuous length; cut-to-size)
• Primary uses: printing, drawing and craftwork
• Finish: art paper surface suitable for dry media and printing
• Stiffness: increased rigidity compared with lighter paper grades

How to use

Unroll the required length and cut with a straight-edge and a sharp blade or paper cutter to obtain clean edges. For printing, confirm the paper width and weight are compatible with your printer or plotter and use appropriate feed settings for heavyweight paper. When drawing, allow pencil, charcoal or pastel marks to settle; fixatives can be applied when needed according to the medium manufacturer's instructions. Store the roll flat or upright in a dry, cool place to prevent curling and moisture absorption.

Usage recommendations

For best results with inkjet devices, test a small area first to check drying time and ink adhesion. When using wet media, work conservatively — the paper is designed primarily for dry techniques and light wet applications. Keep rolls protected from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve dimensional stability.
