Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance of your Daler-Rowney paper, store the sheets in a cool, dry environment, preferably flat in a portfolio or archival drawer to prevent curling. When working, secure the edges of the A2 sheet to a drawing board using low-tack artist tape to ensure a flat, stable surface. For the best results, use high-quality graphite or charcoal pencils and ensure your tools are sharpened appropriately for the desired line weight. When the work is complete, consider using a workable fixative spray to prevent smudging, especially if using soft charcoal or graphite materials.
