It’s important to make sure you feed your paper the right way. Always use branded recommended watercolors. If you are printing on a surface other than paper, you will need to make sure the paper is clean and dry before you start. You can use a paper towel to wipe down the surface before printing. If you don’t have a towel handy, try using a clean, dry cloth.

Can inkjet printers print on watercolor paper?
We can’t recommend any of our art paper for laser or inkjet printing. Many artists run their papers through printers and are happy with the results. Sheets such as Watercolor and Bristol are fairly thick and printer models with a larger bend in the paper.
Can you laser print on watercolor paper?
After hundreds of pages of testing, we finally found a paper that we could successfully feed through and print on our laser printer. Some of the thicker watercolor papers wouldn’t work because the texture was too large.
We also found that the ink was a little too thick for our printer, so we had to add some extra ink to make it flow better. We also added a few extra layers of paper to keep it from drying out too much.
The final result is a beautiful piece of art that you can print out and hang on your wall.
Can you print line art on watercolor paper?
One of the most convenient ways to transfer linework is to use an inkjet printer to print your lines directly onto your watercolour paper. Epson make printers with waterproof ink. You don’t want the lines to bleed when you paint over them.
You can also use a watercolor pen to draw lines on your paper, but you’ll need to be careful not to get any ink on the paper itself. If you do get ink, it’s best to wipe it off with a paper towel before you use it again.

Can you print on textured paper?
The image above shows that printing onto textured papers with a flatter pattern can work well. Some people like the mottled effect of digital printing, even though it’s not suitable for many types of textured paper. The image on the left shows how to print onto a flat patterned paper.
You can use the same technique to make a printout of your own design, or you can print out a design that you want to use as a template for a new design. If you’re printing on a paper that doesn’t have a pattern, you’ll need to find a way to get the pattern to stick to the surface of the paper so that it can be printed.
The easiest way is to cut a piece of paper large enough to cover the entire surface, and then fold it in half lengthwise. Then, fold the folded edge over to form a “V” shape. This will make it easier for you to fold and unfold the design as you print it. Once you’ve got your design folded and unfolded, it’s time to start printing.
First, make sure that your printer is set to “Print at 300 dpi” (dots per inch).
