This product works well

This works just as great as YUPO but better! Better because IT DOESNT WARP IMMEDIATLEY WITH A HEAT GUN!!If you are like me and utilize a hand blower AMD heat gun to blow your inks around then this is exactly what you want ! I can run the heat gun over the page and as long as i keep it moving it doesn’t melt and warp and distort the craft plastic sheet on me and THAT is a game changer !Combine that with the fact that it’s at least 50% less costly than Yupo paper and this stuff IS the bees-knees! I cut it into 6x6 sheets for card fronts and just trim them after inking to size of the card being made.I can’t wait to use a full sheet to make 1 large alcohol ink painting for a family member who just got an new home :-)Do yourself the favor and just try it if you are even thinking about it !

I converted .01" to microns and found this is 254 microns thick. I did this to compare to Yupo and NARA which have different thicknesses. There are some inexpensive Nara papers, but this is thicker.I have used this for two alcohol ink paintings and found it to be less staining than Yupo, but I like the staining quality of Yupo for backgrounds better. It is easier to wipe the slate clean with this paper, so that's a plus. Each paper will have different uses.Also, I had some trouble with blowing this with an airbrush, but next time will try wiping down the page with alcohol first. Also, I wonder if both sides are useable. One seems glossier/smoother than the other, or is that my imagination? Again, I'll do more experiments.I do like the price of this quite a bit, and it will be my go-to paper for practicing techniques. Also, I'll get the 12x12 and cut it up to make some color swatches which I always do with any medium, watercolors, colored pencils, etc. Makes it easier to choose colors.I also like that this is archival like Yupo. I couldn't find any info on Nara papers being archival on their website or descriptions. I posted a question, so perhaps it's hidden somewhere and I'll find it. Non-archival paper will yellow in about 10 years, so I always consider that.

Priced well and fantastic for Alcohol Ink, can be used on either side,

My package arrived open. I counted and recounted the sheets and there was 24 not 25. This leads me to believe that this was a returned item. Not worth the time to send it back for a replacement as it took longer than expected to arrive. Otherwise the product is good for what I need.

I have used a number of papers meant for alcohol ink...........but THIS STUFF IS FAR AND ABOVE all the rest (I did not try Yupo because of its price). When you drop your ink on this paper you have time before the ink dries up!! and the ink with alcohol moves so so so nice on the surface. i am more than pleased I purchased this, I got the 9x12 because I got more sheets for my money, but I think I will be adding the 12x12 packet too.

Bought to make lamps. Nice size and thickness, flexible.

I sew in bulk, and paper patterns don’t last after numerous pinning. I made cloth pattern pieces, but they weren’t firm enough. This thin plastic was the perfect material to make templates to cut out doll shoes
