Q: Does anybody actually notice any difference between the "artist" grade and the "academy" grade paper they have?

I tried the sample package, which was not marked as to what paper is what, and I have no idea which was artist or academy grade. I even contacted the seller, but they didn't have a way to tell me either. My paints did not move well on this paper at all! So, I have just stuck with what I love, Arches.

Q: There are 3 types of watercolor paper: rough, hot and cold press. Is this rough or cold press? Is it 140 lb paper? Is it white, off white or cream?

Thank you for the question! This specific watercolor paper has cold press finish and light texture. The color is more of off white/cream-ish. Thick and stable. It has high quality with very competitive price among all Artists’ grade, 100% cotton, 140lb/300gsm names brand watercolor paper.

Q: I see no review for the hot press paper. can anyone compare the surface of the hot press satine with the cold press fin?

Hot press paper is flat with no texture. The paint sort of slides on the paper. The cold press has a nice texture (tooth) for watercolors. It's a matter of preference but cold press and rough are most often the choice of watercolorists. I purchased a sample pack which had all 3 types of their paper in it, so you could try them all to see which is your preference. I don't use this paper after trying it. I personally prefer Arches cold press or rough.

Q: Any standard mat opening that works with this paper dimensions?

Well, for the 4.9 x 7 paper, I happen to have some old frames I had purchased at A C Moore quite a while ago, and they work fine (there’s some excess, but I had already accounted for that with washi tape). The frame is a Reno 8 x 10 with a white mat. Hope this helps.
