The Canson Mi-Teintes A4 160gsm range replaces the Daler-Rowney Murano A4 collection. For several years, Murano paper has already been manufactured by Canson to the same specification and colours as Mi-Teintes, so the quality and shades remain unchanged.
Murano users can continue to enjoy the same trusted paper, now presented under the internationally recognised Canson Mi-Teintes brand.
