Product Information

Full details

The Seawhite CupCycling Cartridge Paper Pad is an excellent choice for environmentally conscious artists, illustrators, and students who require a versatile, medium-weight surface for diverse media. Featuring high-quality 140gsm paper derived from upcycled coffee cups, this pad provides a reliable, acid-free canvas for everything from sketching to light watercolor work. While its medium weight is highly adaptable, users should be aware that heavy saturation with water may cause slight buckling due to the 140gsm thickness.

Troubleshooting

Paper buckling when using wet media

Use masking tape to stretch the paper onto a rigid drawing board before applying water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your work on this paper, store the pad in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. When using wet media, it is recommended to tape the edges of the sheet to a hard board to minimize potential buckling caused by moisture. The paper is compatible with a broad range of dry media including graphite, colored pencils, charcoal, and soft pastels, as well as wet media such as ink pens, gouache, and light watercolor washes. Ensure your hands are clean before use to prevent skin oils from interfering with the surface texture of the sheets.
