Review on πŸ“’ U.S. Art Supply 9x12 Premium Spiral Bound Sketch Pad (2-Pack) - 100 Sheets per Pad, 60lb (100gsm) Paper (2 Pads) by Denise Davis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good paper for drawing, but not for watercolouring.

Great value for a pair of very handy drawing tablets. And these are SKETCH tablets, not watercolor paper. I've written and drawn on it with Uniball rollerballs and a good fountain pen and none of it has spilled. Note that they're listed as a 60-pound paper, which can be confusing. Paper weight is specified in several different standards. Most of us are familiar with the paper used in copiers and printers, most commonly weighing 20 pounds. LINK. The paper in these flatbeds is 60lb offset, which is a different standard and doesn't mean the paper is three times the weight of copier paper. It's slightly heavier than copier paper, but only to the point that it's noticed by a printer or anyone else using paper of different weights. Don't buy this thinking you're getting watercolor paper.

Pros
  • Acid-free, off-white, pH neutral, spiral bound, easy to remove
Cons
  • Damaged
