This A3 Silvine tracing pad is designed for technical drawers, artists, and designers needing to accurately trace, transfer, or overlay designs. Its key benefit is the strong, translucent 90gsm paper that allows underlying lines to be seen clearly while resisting tearing. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for pen and pencil, with less ideal results for heavy marker use.

This tracing pad is ideal for tracing, transferring, and overlaying drawings, sketches, and designs, commonly used by artists, designers, and technical drawers.
The smooth surface is best suited for pencils and pens. Technical pens, fine-liners, and graphite pencils work very well.
While possible, it's not ideal for heavy markers as ink may bleed through. For best results, use pens and pencils.
The pad contains 50 sheets of 90gsm paper.
Yes, the 90gsm heavyweight paper is designed to be strong and resist tearing, making it suitable for careful erasing.
The sheets are bound together with a glued edge.
The tracing pad is A3 size.
Ensure you are using a soft eraser and applying minimal pressure. For detailed work, consider using a lighter grade of graphite pencil or a finer pen tip.
Try using a different type of pen or ink. Pigment-based inks or those formulated for smoother surfaces may perform better. Test on a scrap piece first.
Place the tracing pad on a light box or near a window with natural light. Ensure the original drawing underneath is also clear and well-defined.
Setup: No specific setup is required. The tracing pad is ready for immediate use upon unwrapping.
Compatibility: This tracing paper is compatible with most drawing instruments including pencils (graphite, colored), technical pens, fine-liners, and ink pens. It is not recommended for use with heavy markers or watercolor washes, as the paper may bleed or warp.
Care: Store the pad flat in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to maintain paper quality. Handle sheets carefully to avoid creasing or tearing the edges. Once a sheet is no longer needed, it can be easily removed from the glued binding.
