In Moku Hanga you want your paper just barely damp and my teacher used chipboard which he brushed with water using a wide soft Japanese brush. The chipboard is very absorbent so in a matter of minutes there won't be any visible water on the surface. Then you interleave your paper with the chipboard. Chipboard comes as regular or acid-free. Chipboard is also called Davey board and comes in different thicknesses. The thinnest works best for this process. After interleaving, weight the stack for about 15 minutes and print away! Hi,
