P21. JNB Graph Pad 11x17, 50 Sheets
JNB Graph Pad
Light blue grid (8 squares/inch). 28 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.) 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.) (For graph with slant lines P01.)

Please choose color: Light or Dark.

Light: This grid does not show on many copiers, shows faintly on others, and usually disappears when you adjust the exposure one setting lighter. If you use a copier to produce your finished art for reproduction, this is the pad for you. This pad is good for jobs done at quick printers.

Dark: For classes, some students may appreciate a slightly darker grid. This is particularly true for adult classes. This is still a light blue grid. Some teachers have commented that their students found the original pad's grid was too light.

6/7.50 each. 12/7.25 each. 24/6.95 each.

PS84. New Diploma Parchment
New Diploma Parchment. Machine-made in the US, 100% cotton fiber, warm off-white (beige), pH neutral. Smooth wove finish. 177gsm. Specify size: 17"x22" or 34"x22".
17x22 Price Break at 10 or more sheets.

This bestselling archival sheet is now even better. Easy to write on and a little thicker than most text weight papers, it is great for certificates and one-off pieces. A paper you will use again & again. Give it a try. The New Diploma Parchment is a warm beige (off-white) and recommended by Vivian Mungall. The old Diploma Parchment was a yellowish cream.

"This paper is beautiful. When I first put my pen on this paper I was amazed at how lovely it is, much better than the old Diploma Parchment. I create many corporate documents (resolutions), and I like how the paper gilds and takes paint. We print logos with our Epson 3800 (a small professional printer) and the paper takes the ink beautifully. There is no feathering or bleeding. It is the same with the ink from my pen. The new Diploma Parchment has been great. I recommend it. It is a nice weight and is also fine for handmade books." - Rosemary Buczek.
