Review on 📄 Strathmore ST236-82: 11x17 Semi-Smooth 500 Series Sequential Art Bristol Paper Sheets - White by Gelin Battle

All I can say is that I opened the supposedly semi-smooth 500 series paper, it's expensive and shiny, I have some left over from the previous pack and it's definitely different . Maybe the process has changed, but then it has to be relabeled and always in a different package. I spend enough time with my nose on paper to notice the difference, and the tools I use are specific and I know how they're supposed to work, from drag-and-drop to the ability to handle wet environments etc. I saw another comment with a similar message but it's been years so I'm not sure what's going on. All of this is to say that I cannot recommend the platter when in fact it is platter surface paper that happens to be wrapped in semi-smooth paper as it already seems to be warping.
