Review on πŸ“” Jack Richeson 100213 Newsprint Pad: Affordable 18x24 Inches Sketching Paper with 100 Sheets and Sturdy 32 lbs Weight by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 3 out of 5

fairly thin

I usually use Strathmore 32 lb newsprint and ordered two pads of this and have used more than one pad. I want people to know that the texture is pretty smooth and brittle compared to what I'm used to. It doesn't seem like it matters, but if you're using 18X24 like me, just rearranging it under the clamps is a chore. In addition, you need to put a few leaves under it to complete the picture. What I hate the most is the cheap look, the way the paper hangs on the board and still shows creases no matter how many staples you attach to it. In addition, it is whitish rather than tawny or grey,

Pros
  • 32 lb paper
Cons
  • Large and bulky
