Our highest quality layout paper for calligraphy practice or work for reproduction. The very smooth surface does not buckle, even with wide chisel nibs. Black guidelines under the sheet are easily seen, even without a light table. Michael Sull's favorite pad for work for reproduction. His recommendation is echoed by other scribes and penmen: "Absolutely wonderful." "A great pad." It is worth the price.

A wonderful paper for pen work: it has enough tooth for broad-edged pen, but is also smooth enough for pointed pen, and it takes liquid ink without bleeding! (Heather Held worked with Strathmore on the paper qualities.) Natural White, 25% cotton, wove finish. 50-sheet pads are blank or lined (with dotted, light blue lines). A much better paper for calligraphy than the paper of the same names used for printing stationery.
Choose size: 8.5"x11 or 6"x8"
Choose "color": Lined or Blank
Envelopes that match the paper sizes are available (see item PA76).
