Strathmore BRSTL 300 SM TB 9X12 20SH(12)

It is perfect

High quality and lovely finish.

This paper is so super smooth that my graphite pencils seem to glide on it. I was used to slightly textured paper surfaces (similar to the texture on the cover of this pad) so using this has been a steep T&E learning curve. Each sheet is thick (270 gsm) and colourwise is whiter than Strathmore's watercolor pad.Packaging was poor: the sketch pad came unprotected inside amazon's plastic bag. Guess it's the way it's done now as other pads I ordered were also shipped the same way.

Poco caro. Pero lo necesitaba

Papel bom demais de desenhar ... atendeu minhaExpectativa... papel excelente...parabéns

Chegou tudo bem! No prazo e em bom estado. Embalado de forma muito cuidadosa. Faço desenhos realistas e esse foi o melhor papel com que trabalhei. Acho que melhor que o Fabriano 4L! Bem gostoso de trabalhar!

Art.

I got this instead of several 9x12 tablets for my calligraphy work. Not only does it open up larger pieces for wall art, it saves a lot of money on 9x12 basic work by cutting out "quarters" to size. I had trouble doing this, however, for a couple of very good reasons. First, you have to measure very carefully to get lines to cut on. And I finally got good enough to get a large square (from woodworking) to set up and cut with a box cutter. I tried to do more than one sheet at a time, but it bunches up the plies too much and it's too easy to get wrong sized pieces. I tried trimming with a paper cutter (Fiskars) but it had problems with the thickness, even on a single sheet. Eventually, a number of what was to be 9x12 pieces became 8x10 (another size I work with). It became a lengthy process, but does save 1/2 the cost, but my learning process took away some of the savings. Unless you are willing to work out a smooth way to cut down a large piece (like these) I'd say just order the sizes you want exactly (11-14, 11x17, etc.). I'm stubborn enough to keep working on this until I get it right for me. Be aware of the potential problems. But the board itself is perfect and both takes inks well and processes through my printer without any problem.
