Perfect- works as expected without tearing

Good quality- holds a lot of wet without weakening or tearing. Perfect for gel printing .

This is absolutely not wet strength, and I’m deducting one star for the fact that it was listed as such. I’m almost glad it was mislabeled however, because I wouldn’t have discovered it otherwise. Having said that, this tissue works beautifully for many mixed-media and collage applications. I bought it for use in a botanical gel printing course, and when compared with the Carnival brand wet strength tissue, I have to say this paper picked up far more detailed prints, almost photographic in quality (see photos), and was just as, if not more transparent than the Carnival brand when affixed to a surface with mat medium or glue. I had no issues pulling prints with acrylic paints, and this paper handled layers quite well. I was also able to apply this paper to a carrier sheet, which I then ran through both ink jet and laser printers, and it took both inks well, producing finely detailed images and text. Because it is so thin and light, it is a bit more fiddly to detail cut, and also a bit floaty when trying to glue it down. It does tend to tear more easily than the Carnival brand when gluing, but since it is thinner and more transparent, those little tears just disappear. I can see why it wouldn’t work as well for really wet, many-layered gel prints, and would likely be a problem if one were using alcohol inks or spray inks on the gel plate. Considering the price point however, if you’re looking for a thin, transparent tissue for collage and mixed-media work, this is certainly worth considering, and I will re-buy.

So much paper for not that much money. Works great for my geli prints.

Of the three wet strength tissue papers I've bought, this has the best transparency. Even over black paint. It will wrinkle on the gel plate if you let it sit, but I still recommend this paper for collage.

Strong and useful for Gelli printing. It’s not completely transparent as you might expect.

Size is very good. Transparency when collaged with gel medium seems rather nice. I was able to pull a gel print or monoprint with acrylic paint, but this is not wet strength tissue paper as I know it at all. It has a shine to it, not a fabric-like feel, more akin to classic tissue paper and is wax-like, much more like large thin rather transparent deli paper. When wet, you can tear it, which could be good for collage techniques and not having to cut things but not if you're looking to do things that require a lot of workability when wet ... like glue resist, inking, and rinsing out, which was my intended use and why I ordered. Though it could still have value for art with light moisture applications, there are no returns, so I'd be sure you know what you'll use it for.

This paper held up well when saturated with very dilute acrylic paint. I was able to hang it to dry and it took the paint beautifully. The tissue was then used to create a collage, applied with matte medium, without a problem. I was also able to run it through my inkjet printer with a carrier sheet. The egret in the second photo was a tissue paper transfer, adhered to the substrate with matte medium. Not sure why other artists had problems. It worked well for me under wet conditions. And it was a good value.

This wet strength tissue paper is great for Gelli printing. Came within the delivery date. The supplier answered a question I had promptly. They were good to deal with.

Surprisingly strong, it works very well with gel printing especially if you print a lot of botanicals or use stencils and want to make sure you'll get all the details. The sheets are very large so you can get a lot of milage per sheet.

Love this paper

Both papers I got for gelli plate printing and are excellent. Delivery service was quick.

This product arrived quickly. It was very neatly packaged to protect the paper. I wanted wet strength tissue to make prints from a gelli plate to use as collage papers. I did mange to use it on the gelli plate but it was more delicate that I have used before when purchasing Wet strength tissue.
