what paper do you recommend for screen printing?
I like the weight and feel of stonehenge, however having no previous experience doing this I'd like to read about the pros and cons of this, and other type of papers.
I'll be making small prints. post card size and 11.5 by 11.
thanks

Fellow QBNer MrDobalina/DrBombay is probably your man to ask...
...all I'd suggest is... If in doubt, Try!

I've always used Rives BFK. Bit of an overkill maybe, but holds up great, and won't warp.

I looked at rives bfk as well. great paper.
I guess my main concern is how long and how well will the surface will retain the paint. Long term.

I'm pretty sure there are papers made with screen-printing in mind. It's always good to go archival wherever you can. Check out art stores.

This is what I always use. It is a real pleasure to print on their heavier weight stock.
