Strathmore 300 Series Bristol Paper Pad, Smooth, Tape Bound, 11x14 inches, 20 Sheets (100lb/270g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students - Markers, Pen and Ink

Fantastic for comics. Once I stayed using this never went back to sketch books. I love it. The texture and weight. I will always use this from on!

This paper used to be good, but for years now Strathmore has been selling these pads with at least one side not being cut to a right angle (my current pad has a long side of the page being mis-cut). So in order to have a proper rectangle I have to put my plastic triangle to it and trim the wrongly-cut side. Thus I am left with a piece of paper that is not exactly 11 x 17, and I waste a lot of time doing this.

Very thick smooth paper. Very sturdy. You can make lots of mistakes and erase and abuse the the paper and it doesnt get ruined

I use this for colored pencil drawing. These paper is so smooth and I enjoyed using it for colored pencil and pointed pen calligraphy.

Bought as a gift for my gf. She was very satisfied.

This pad works fine with inks I use for calligraphy. I dont find much in feathering and it takes a nice edge. (Im referring to the smooth. I havent tried the vellum.) It can be corrected for small errors but cant be used for larger or severe ones because with scraping it forms a hole fairly quickly. It can be printed on a small inkjet (mine is a Canon) but a wide carriage printer would be necessary to print on 9x14 inch. I cut down to 8x10 or 5x7 and the printer I have (MX922) works just fine. The heavier series (400 and 500) also look good, but I havent tried printing with them, just hand lettering. For calligraphy, inked artwork, and acrylics I find the Strathmore better than other brands Ive tried. For me, this is the one.

Never had paper arrive unbound before! So its just a stack of detached pieces of paper which is pretty inconvenient.

Love this for stamping and alcohol inks

Im not sure why I chose to draw on printer paper for as long as I have, but I am so glad I made the change. This paper feels like something. Its got a nice texture to it, and when erasing, you dont feel you have to be careful because youll damage the paper. The boards break easily off the pad. Will be buying more.

All perfect thanks
