Review on πŸ“ Clearprint 1000H Design Vellum Pad - 16 lb 100% Cotton - 8.5 x 11 inches - 50 Sheets - Translucent White - Premium Quality by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not very good compared to competitor product

I rate this item low because I can make a direct comparison to another translucent Parchment weighing 16 pounds. I purchased both this item and the less expensive Strathmore Laser Translucent Vellum in the same order not knowing which would be best for my project(s). Although Clearprint parchment is about 10-15% more opaque than Strathmore, it curls much worse after laser printing, absorbs laser ink less well, and blocked my trusted mid-range HP laser printer twice out of five tries. Strathmore is also in the box, while Clearprint comes in a tear-off pad that leaves a slightly rough edge. There is absolutely no question in my mind that I would buy again. (Note: no clear printing!)

Pros
  • Solvent-free transparency for a permanently transparent artboard that can also be printed on laser and inkjet printers
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged
