Parchment and leather making is a family business for us, going back a few generations. Here are some useful tips for working with parchment.

-Polishing the back of the parchment with a dry cloth before writing or printing prevents ink bleedings.
-To make calligraphy corrections, use a precision knife or a scouring pad rather than sandpaper. They are kinder to parchment than the sandpaper.
- White or natural parchment are more suitable for painting than the antique parchment; colors are more vibrant on lighter toned parchment.
-Secure the parchment sheet on a wooden surface with drawing pins while painting, and wait until the paint dries completely before removing them.
-You can use matt acrylic varnish spray to seal all types of paint and ink.
-After printing on parchment, let it dry for 24 hours before using varnish.
- If the parchment artwork is to be framed, mount it on 3mm thick MDF rather than paper. Paper and parchment react differently to temperature changes and humidity.
-To flatten rolled parchment, put heavy books on them and wait for a couple of days.
