How many pages are included in the pad?

What makes the dark blue pages special?

The dark blue pages are specifically designed to make fluorescent and neon colors appear more vibrant and striking.

Can I use watercolors on this paper?

Yes, you can use watercolors, but it's recommended to use them sparingly to avoid excessive buckling due to the paper's weight. Heavy application may cause the paper to warp.

Are the pages easy to remove?

Yes, the pages are perforated along the top edge for easy and clean removal from the spiral binding.

Troubleshooting

Marker bleed-through on white pages

Use markers with a lighter hand or consider placing a protective sheet of paper behind the page you are coloring. For extensive marker use, the white pages are generally more resilient than standard paper.

Paper buckling with wet media

Apply wet media like watercolors sparingly. For heavier applications, consider lightly stretching the paper before coloring or using a fixative after completion.

Difficulty removing perforated pages

Gently pull the page along the perforation line, ensuring an even pull. If a page tears unevenly, carefully trim the edge with scissors.

  • Premium 200 g/m² paper is suitable for a variety of coloring tools.
  • A5 format makes it portable and easy to handle.
  • Spiral binding allows pages to lay flat for comfortable coloring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This coloring pad requires no setup. Simply open to the desired page and begin coloring. The spiral binding allows the pad to lay flat, making it easy to work on each illustration.

Compatibility: The paper is compatible with a wide range of coloring mediums including colored pencils, markers, pastels, ink, and watercolors (though heavy application of wet media may cause buckling). The dark blue pages are specifically designed to enhance the vibrancy of fluorescent and neon colors. White pages are suitable for all standard coloring techniques.

Care: Store the pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paper quality and the integrity of the illustrations. Handle the pages with care, especially when removing them from the spiral binding. Avoid excessive moisture, which can damage the paper.
