Ilford Washi Swatchbook A6 105 × 148 mm, 9 sheets | Compare Washi paper samples

To get a feel for Ilford Washi photo paper before choosing a sheet for a print, start with the Ilford Washi Swatchbook. It’s an A6 swatchbook measuring 105 × 148 mm, with 9 sheets. That compact size makes it easy to handle while you compare the paper samples, rather than trying to decide from a screen or a paper name alone. It suits photographers and printmakers who are weighing up paper options for a project, or who want a small reference to keep alongside their printing notes. The useful part is the chance to look at samples in person and consider which paper feels right for the image you have in mind. Think of it as a decision aid, not a finished print: the swatchbook helps you explore the Washi paper range before choosing what to use for a larger print.

Making a considered paper choice

A paper choice can change how you approach a print, so it’s worth taking a moment with the samples before committing to a particular option. Look at them in the light where you expect to view your prints, and compare them with the kind of image you want to make. You might also jot down which sample you prefer and why; that gives you something concrete to refer back to when planning a print. The A6 format keeps the swatchbook manageable as a desk-side reference, while its 9 sheets give you samples to consider in one place. It’s a simple, hands-on way to narrow your preference for Ilford Washi paper. If you’re still deciding, take your time: the point is to judge the samples for yourself, not to guess from a description.
