An Italian Renaissance

Since its introduction in 1990, ESSE® Papers have had the ineffable quality that never fails to turn heads and command attention. Today’s refreshed ESSE® Papers have a greater command than ever before thanks in large part to the contributions of the renowned designer and colorist Beatrice Santiccioli.

A graduate of The Art Institute of Florence and the Polytechnic School of Design in Milan, Beatrice has worked with many of the world’s most influential brands including Swatch, Nike and Apple. The profoundly sensitive colors she derived from her own life experiences in Italy—along with her introduction of pearlized surfaces—makes today’s ESSE® Papers extraordinary.

4 Color Families

Beatrice has endowed ESSE® Writing, Text and Cover Papers with color families: black, green, blue and brown. The families are arranged in a series of tonal steps from dark to light. Every palette boasts a complement of harmonious, pearlized colors. The accent colors create a startlingly modern juxtaposition, a beautiful blend between the traditional and the new.

Texture So Unique, It’s Patented

The native texture of ESSE® Papers is a watermarked grid of delicately patterned squares so utterly unique it’s even patented. The squares increase in scale from Writing to Text to Cover Weight, so the pattern becomes more pronounced as the paper gets heavier.

Printing Tips

Following these suggestions will help you achieve maximum performance on ESSE® Papers by Neenah Paper. It is recommended to pretest all production procedures prior to press time to ensure the desired results are achieved. Sample sheets can be ordered on our website or are available through authorized Neenah Paper distributors.
