No, I don't size it. Try to avoid any paper that adds new variables,
such as me sizing them...
Classico has two deckled edges & DOES have a direction. It is 50% rag
but considerd archival. It is available in Hot Press which is smooth
but not slick like some papers. It is a good durable weight and
withstands being wet quite well. And it is not expensive and can be
found at almost any art supply store... What more can I say?
Best,
