Product Information

Full details

This A4 90gsm tracing paper from Colour Shaper's Gateway range is ideal for artists, crafters, architects, and students needing a durable and transparent surface for detailed work. Its key benefit is its strength, resisting markers and inks without bleeding or tearing, while maintaining high transparency for accurate tracing and drafting. A minor caveat is that its thickness, while beneficial for durability, might be less ideal for extremely delicate, lightweight craft applications.

Troubleshooting

Ink bleeding through the paper

Ensure you are using suitable inks and markers. If bleeding persists, consider using a heavier weight of tracing paper or a barrier sheet underneath.

Paper tearing during use

Handle the paper gently, especially when erasing or using sharp tools. Ensure your tools are sharp and clean to avoid snagging.

Poor results in copier

Verify the paper is loaded correctly in the copier. If experiencing jams or poor image transfer, try a different ream or consult your copier's manual for paper type recommendations.

Paper curling

Store the paper flat in a humidity-controlled environment. If already curled, try placing a heavy, flat object on top of the stack for a few hours.
