Artfinity® Synthesis Pads — Vivid Color, Zero Warping, and Infinite Possibilities

Artfinity® Synthesis Pads are a breakthrough in synthetic paper technology, offering artists a flawlessly smooth, non-porous surface that transforms how you work with color. Unlike traditional watercolor paper that absorbs pigment and mutes vibrancy, Synthesis paper holds every brushstroke boldly on the surface, delivering brilliant, high-impact results while minimizing waste. Made from a durable blend of polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene, this 74 lb. (200 gsm) paper resists tearing, buckling, and warping—so your artwork stays flat and vibrant from start to finish.

Synthesis paper is not only acid-free and waterproof, but it’s also fully reworkable. Mistakes? No problem. You can wipe off errors with a wet sponge, erase them, or even rinse the entire sheet under water and start fresh. Its unique ability to accept and layer media like watercolor, acrylic, alcohol ink, graphite, and even oil pastel makes it a powerhouse for creative experimentation. Available in tape-bound pads, Synthesis is your go-to surface for vibrant, fearless, waste-free artmaking.
