FAQs

• Q: Is a 45 mm tube okay for heavy art paper?
  A: For heavy or rigid art stocks, a larger diameter (50 mm or more) is usually recommended to prevent stress on the paper; use 45 mm tubes mainly for lighter, more flexible media.
• Q: Can these be cut to suit shorter prints?
  A: Yes – they can be cut down and re-used as shorter tubes if required.
