P21. JNB Graph Pad 11x17, 50 Sheets
JNB Graph Pad
Light blue grid (8 squares/inch). 20 lb bond. 11"x17". Approx 50 sheets.

A non-bleeding paper that is great for calligraphy. (We use the same paper in our JNB Practice Pads.) The grid is specially printed so that your lettering will not ghost through with most calligraphy inks. With a bit of adjusting of the exposure, you should be able to get the grid to disappear on your copy machine. Many instructors have their students use this pad in their classes. (It is the pad required by Claude Dieterich for his Academy of Art classes, and also by Ann Miller for her online class.) 6/7.25 each. 12/6.95 each. 24/6.75 each.
