This Silvine A3 graph pad is designed for artists, designers, architects, and students who require precise ruling for technical drawings, plans, or detailed sketches. Its key benefit is the clear 1-5-10mm ruling on quality 90gsm paper, offering a stable surface for accurate work. A minor caveat is that the glue binding, while convenient for page removal, may not be as durable as spiral or ring binding for very heavy use.

The paper features a 1-5-10mm ruling, meaning there are 1mm, 5mm, and 10mm markings for precise measurements and layout.
The pad contains 50 sheets of paper.
The paper is 90gsm, offering a good balance of thickness and usability for drawing and writing.
While it can handle very light washes, the 90gsm paper is not ideal for heavy watercolor techniques as it may buckle or bleed. For significant water-based media, a heavier watercolor paper would be more appropriate.
The pad is A3 size, measuring 420 x 297mm (16.5 x 11.7 inches).
The glue binding is designed for easy page removal. For daily heavy use involving frequent page turning, a spiral or ring-bound notebook might offer more robust durability.
Gently pull the page away from the binding at a slight angle. Ensure you are pulling from the edge that is glued, not the edge that is to remain in the pad.
This pad is designed for 90gsm paper, which is generally suitable for most pens. If significant bleed-through occurs, consider using a blotter sheet underneath your work or switching to a pen with less ink flow.
This is likely due to excessive moisture or heavy wet media application. Ensure the pad is stored in a dry environment and use lighter media or a more suitable paper for techniques involving significant water.
Setup: This graph pad requires no setup. Simply open the pad and select the desired sheet. The glue binding allows for easy page removal by carefully pulling a sheet away from the bound edge.
Compatibility: The paper is compatible with most dry drawing and writing instruments, including pencils, pens, markers, and charcoal. It is also suitable for light use with colored pencils and pastels. For wet media, it is best suited for light washes or airbrushing; heavy application of ink or paint may cause buckling or bleed-through.
Care: Store the pad flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent paper yellowing or warping. Avoid excessive moisture. When removing pages, do so gently to maintain the integrity of the remaining sheets. Handle the pad with clean hands to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the paper.
