This process is the know-how of the Arches manufacturers, who carefully refine the required amount of gelatin without changing the quality of the paper. The natural gelatin acts as a protective layer (primer) around the cotton fibers, thus protecting the paper from tearing, stretching and abrasion. Gelatin prevents the watercolor pigments from absorbing into the paper. Arches papers dry only in air: 7.
