Choose Tintoretto Gesso when you want the paper's unique textured surface to be part of the design, rather than a smooth, uniform finish.

Tintoretto Gesso has a lightly textured surface that adds a tactile feel to print. Unlike smooth stocks, the texture becomes part of the design, giving printed pieces more depth and character.

It is well suited to premium brochures, invitations, menus, and brand-led print where texture and feel are important to the overall presentation.

Keep fine lines and small type to a minimum and allow more spacing, as the paper texture can reduce sharpness. Use slightly heavier line weights, larger type sizes, and more spacing, and allow for the warm off white base to soften contrasts and shift lighter colours.

It works best with bold layouts rather than intricate detail. Fine lines and very small text can be softened by the texture, so designs should allow for slightly heavier elements.

The warm off-white base softens colours and reduces contrast compared to bright white stocks. This creates a more natural, understated finish.

Yes. The textured surface and heavier weight give printed materials a more tactile, high-end feel compared to standard smooth papers.

Avoid it for highly detailed artwork, fine typography, or designs that rely on very sharp contrast, where a smooth coated or uncoated stock may perform better.
