FAQs
What is the exact thickness of this tracing paper?
This tracing paper is 90 GSM (grams per square meter), which is a common medium weight for tracing paper.
Can I use this paper for inkjet printing?
While it can be used with inkjet printers, it's recommended to perform test prints first to ensure compatibility and print quality, as results can vary depending on the printer model.
How should I store the remaining paper on the roll?
Store the roll in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep it upright or flat, and ensure the exposed paper is protected from dust.
Is this paper suitable for permanent markers?
Permanent markers may bleed through due to the transparency of the paper. For best results with permanent markers, consider using a heavier weight paper or placing a protective sheet underneath.
What are the dimensions of the roll?
The roll measures 841mm in width and 20 meters in length.
Can this paper be erased cleanly?
It can be erased cleanly with standard erasers, especially when using graphite pencils. Avoid excessive erasing, which can damage the paper surface.
Troubleshooting
Paper tears easily during cutting.
Ensure you are using a sharp cutting tool and a firm, flat surface. Apply even pressure while cutting.
Lines appear smudged or bleed through.
Allow drawing mediums to dry completely before further handling. Consider using a slightly heavier GSM paper if bleeding is a persistent issue.
Paper has creases or wrinkles.
Store the roll in a stable environment away from pressure or impacts. Handle the paper carefully by the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the tracing paper carefully from the cardboard core. Use a ruler and a craft knife or heavy-duty scissors to cut the desired length from the roll. Ensure you have a clean, flat surface for cutting to avoid accidental tears or creases.
Compatibility: This tracing paper is compatible with most drawing instruments, including pencils, charcoal, markers, and technical pens. It can also be used with most standard printers and copiers, though test prints are recommended due to its width and weight.
Care: Store the roll upright or flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent degradation and yellowing. Keep the roll covered when not in use to protect the paper from dust and damage. Avoid excessive handling of the paper surface to maintain its clarity and integrity.
