Clan Baird Scottish Tartan A4 Digital Print Background Paper

Here's your chance to get a handy A4 digital print reproduction of the Scottish Clan Baird tartan. I'm an avid researcher of Scottish history; this pattern goes back to 1880 and is recorded in W &AK Johnstone's book in the early 1900s. It will add a nice personal touch to your greeting cards, scrapbooks, journals etc.

All my tartans are faithfully digitally woven using the ancient weavers' Setts and thread counts for authenticity. If you don't see your particular family name tartan listed on my page it could be because :

• Your clan was a 'sept' (foot soldier basically) of a more powerful clan and wore their tartan.

• Your family name tartan carries restrictions and can only be worn by certain named people (yes, it's a thing!)

• Your family doesn't have a designated tartan

There are of course 'generic' tartans which may be worn by anyone, Black Watch probably being one of the most popular!

All my tartans are rendered at 300dpi and in the SRGB colour profile. I carefully test print each and every one to make sure they are ok before sale. By their nature tartans are made up of intricate patterns and bright colours so will lay down a lot of ink when they print. I'd highly recommend using a 'matte coated' paper in a weight upwards of 120gsm. The coating will prevent the ink being absorbed into the paper too much and looking 'muddy', a thicker paper will prevent the edges from curling. The results you obtain yourself will of course depend on the medium, ink and printer used.

You may use this paper without limitation in your products you have physically hand made for sale yourself. Any questions don't hesitate to drop me a message here.

Have fun with it and I'd love to see what you have made using it! :)
