Crafted for Artists, Trusted by Masters

From Industrial Innovation to Artistic Inspiration

Great art paper doesn't usually start in a factory. Ours did — and that's exactly why it's different. UART grew out of Uneeda, a company with decades of expertise in precision electrostatic coating technology. We were known for producing sanding materials that woodworkers and craftspeople could rely on for consistent grain, durability, and an honest tooth. One day, a question came up: what would happen if we applied that same exacting standard to paper made for artists? The answer took years of testing, reformulating, and working side by side with professional pastel painters. What emerged was UART — sanded paper engineered not just to hold pastel, but to respond to it. To reward layering. To hold up to wet media without warping. To give artists the confidence that the surface beneath them will never be the reason a painting doesn't work.
