I always have used lennox 100 which I term “lennox lewis” as it take pretty massive amounts of ink well without rippling. It can curl but a couple days under some weight takes care of that.

One thing that helps keep the paper stay put is some repositionable adhesive on the screen print table. This keeps the paper from sticking to the wet screen and shifting around too much. You can clean the adhesive off with household cleaner.

With what modest experience I have with this printing method, I’ve always understood Arches 88 was a fine paper manufactured in particular for screenprinting. Its price point may be prohibitive. Good old chipboard seems to work well for anything and everything.

I think French is the go to paper for posters. They have a great selection, good prices and are based in the midwest. Hard to go wrong with French.

Plus, they have this really cool site with examples of work printed on their paper.
