FAQs

What type of grid lines are on this pad?

The pad features blue grid lines in 2mm, 10mm, and 20mm increments.

How many sheets are in this pad?

There are 50 sheets of paper in this A4 graph pad.

Is this paper suitable for fountain pens?

The 70gsm paper weight is generally not ideal for fountain pens, as ink may bleed or show through to the other side. It is better suited for pencils, ballpoint pens, and fine-liners.

Can this pad be used for professional architectural drawings?

While the 2mm grid is useful for precise work, the 70gsm paper may not be robust enough for heavy drafting. However, it is suitable for preliminary sketches and less demanding technical drawings.

What are the dimensions of the pad?

The pad is A4 size, measuring 210 mm in width and 297 mm in depth.

Are the grid lines visible on photocopies?

The blue grid lines are designed to be photographically non-reproducible, meaning they should not appear on standard black and white photocopies.

What does 'FSC Mix 100%' certification mean?

FSC certification indicates that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources, ensuring environmental and social responsibility.

Troubleshooting

Pages are difficult to remove cleanly.

Ensure you are pulling the page straight up and away from the binding. The calico binding is designed for clean removal, but practice may be needed.

Ink bleeding or ghosting through the paper.

The 70gsm paper is best suited for lighter ink applications. For heavier inks or markers, consider using a thicker paper pad or placing a protective sheet underneath.

Grid lines are too faint for visibility.

While designed to be non-reproducible, if the blue grid lines are too light for your needs, consider using a darker pencil or pen to trace over them for specific projects.

Care: To maintain the quality of the paper:
