Review on 📝 Strathmore (400-108) 400 Series Drawing Paper, Smooth Surface, 18x24 Inches, 24 Sheets, Bright White by Jennifer Holt

Art supplies have been really strong lately and Strathmore art paper is falling in line with other underperforming manufacturers. For the most part, the paper itself is good. accepts pen, ink and marker well, but the problem comes in the form of damaged pads. I can tell you that I ordered a couple of these pads because I use them for my work and I would say that seven out of ten pads are damaged. Either the corner is bent or there is a dent running through the entire upholstery from start to finish. You can't tell by just looking at the cover as the outside of the pad is intact most of the time, but if you look inside you'll see a few dents across the pad. apparently a problem with the production process that Strathmore seems unwilling to fix. This is not a new problem as I have had damaged pads for the last 3 years. So when you order Strathmore drawing pads, inspect them carefully and be prepared to make multiple returns.
