FAQs

What is the weight of this tracing paper?

The Canson Satin Tracing Paper Roll has a weight of 90/95 g/m2.

Can I use markers on this paper?

Yes, the paper is suitable for markers, especially for sketching and design work. However, for heavy ink applications or markers with very wet ink, test a small area first to ensure there is no bleed-through or feathering.

Is this paper suitable for architectural drawings?

Absolutely. Its high transparency, smooth surface, and durability make it ideal for architectural plans, technical drawings, and transferring details.

How do I store the roll to keep it in good condition?

Store the roll in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in its original packaging or a protective tube if possible.

Can I use this for mixed media projects?

It can be used for mixed media, particularly for layering and sketching components. However, it's not ideal for wet media like paint due to its weight and surface properties.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The dimensions are 0.90 meters wide by 20 meters long.

Will erasing damage the paper's surface?

The paper is designed to withstand repeated erasing without significant damage to the surface, ensuring the integrity of your drawings.

Troubleshooting

Paper tears easily during erasing

Ensure you are using a soft eraser and applying gentle pressure. Allow ink to dry completely before erasing over it. The paper is durable, but excessive force can still cause damage.

Lines appear fuzzy or feathered with ink

Verify that the ink is fully dry before placing the tracing paper over it. Ensure your pens have a consistent ink flow. The paper is designed for high ink density, but very wet inks may still spread slightly.

Paper does not lie flat

Gently roll the paper in the opposite direction of its curl or place heavy, flat objects on it for a few hours to flatten it before use.

Surface appears smudged or oily

Handle the paper by the edges only. If smudges occur, try cleaning the affected area very gently with a clean, dry art gum eraser or a soft cloth. Avoid excessive rubbing.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product comes in a roll format. Unroll the desired length of paper and cut to size using a craft knife or scissors. For best results, flatten the paper under a book or in a paper weight for a short period before use to ensure it lies flat on your drawing surface.

Compatibility: Compatible with pencils, technical pens, tubular tips, markers, and most dry media. It is suitable for manual drafting tables and digital scanners, provided the scanner settings are adjusted for paper transparency. Avoid using with heavy wet media like watercolors or acrylics, as the paper is not designed for significant moisture absorption.

Care: Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its transparency and prevent yellowing. Keep the roll protected from dust and moisture. Handle the paper by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your fingertips, which can create smudges or translucent spots.
