Not what you would expect from art paper

I bought this brand's spiral bound coloring book and am delighted with the quality of the paper. I was determined to find THIS paper - blank - so I could use it to print my digital drawings, recolor my favorite drawings in different ways for different people, start over when I fell asleep in the middle of a stroke and stuff like that page ruined. I compared the specs along with other brands to make sure I had the right paper. I was thrilled when I *felt* that I finally stumbled upon what I was looking for. So I bought 2 packs. I was very disappointed that some information/descriptions/whatever was missing. What I received was NOT what I expected. I use dye markers to stay sane, which is why I don't wear orange after losing control of my needles. ) berate people who have turned out to be dirty repubs. This paper is not compatible with markers. I'd rather not count the money I've spent trying to find the perfect marker paper. It has a rough, flowy finish rather than a matte multi-layer of the right weight. This leads to uncontrolled bleeding. They seem to keep the highest quality BLANK paper to print their own designs on. I can easily print some of the most terrifying designs on the back of my favorite design. However, it must be admitted that there are not that many of them. If they would offer their final quality paper - EMPTY! - for those of us who not only like 95% of their designs, but would also like to print our own; or scan and reprint our favorite designs to recreate for yourself or those who prefer different colors. I would never buy another brand of book again. Therefore, I ask that you provide quality paper for purchase. You use premade designs as a blank sheet to allow your customers to remain loyal to your product line, while also allowing us to expand our capabilities. There are so few GOOD books of paper design and quality, one that we are desperately looking for a way to take all the tools your company has provided and move on from there. Maybe one day I will be your collaborator in the future. Win/win Until then, I will continue my search elsewhere. Let me know when you're up to speed and ready to earn q00% loyalty from your customers who don't have a roving eye.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
