Tant Select Premium White Double Sided Diamond Embossed Paper 116gsm | Takeo Japan

Discontinued specialist paper — available while supplies last. Takeo Tant Select TS-7 is a premium white diamond embossed paper at 116gsm, manufactured in Japan by Takeo. This stock is no longer available through UK paper merchants, making remaining inventory a rare find for designers, print studios and paper enthusiasts.

A precise, repeating geometric emboss is applied from both sides, causing the patterns to visually overlap and produce the distinctive diamond design. When light passes through the sheet, the overlapping emboss creates an almost translucent effect — a quality that makes this paper particularly striking for work where both faces remain visible. A4 size (210mm × 297mm). Pack of 10 sheets.

About ECF Fibre

Tant Select TS-7 is manufactured from 100% virgin ECF (Elemental Chlorine Free) fibre. ECF means elemental chlorine gas is not used during pulp bleaching. This is distinct from totally chlorine-free (TCF) or unbleached production. The paper is paper-based and suitable for recycling where local facilities accept embossed speciality paper.

Printing & Finishing

Tant Select TS-7 is a versatile specialist stock suited to a wide range of printing and finishing methods. At 116gsm it feeds well through most home inkjet printers — use a manual or rear feed tray, select a premium or heavyweight-paper setting, and allow ink to dry fully before stacking. Text, logos and line artwork reproduce beautifully, and the diamond texture adds a distinctive character to the finished piece.

For professional finishing, Tant Select TS-7 is well suited to:

• Office inkjet printing
• Lithographic printing
• Silk-screen printing
• HP Indigo (with Sapphire treatment)
• Letterpress
• Hot-foil blocking
• Blind embossing and die-stamping

A few things worth knowing: simple text, logos and line artwork will reproduce better than fine photographs. Large solid ink areas may appear slightly uneven across the embossed surface — bold graphic designs work best. Laser printing is possible but worth testing, as heat and pressure may slightly soften the emboss. Print a single test sheet first.

Ideal Uses

• 💌 Wedding invitations, inserts and belly bands
• 🍽️ Menus, place settings and event stationery
• 💡 Lampshade and luminaire work — the translucency is especially effective when backlit
• 📚 Bookbinding, endpapers and presentation sheets
• 🎊 Origami, paper folding and paper crafts
• 📦 Luxury packaging liners and high-end brand collateral
• ✂️ Foil-blocked stationery and die-cut projects
