User questions & answers

Question:	Whats the difference between the doodle paper and the sketch pad
Answer:	I have no idea, it all seem the same to me. You can also doddle on sketch paper as well, but I suppose sketch paper is bigger.
Question:	Can you rip the page out with a straight edge
Answer:	No. There is no perforated line below the spiral, so when a page is removed, it has the spiraled edge.
Question:	what is the paper weight
Answer:	I don’t remember any weight marking but the paper seemed to have a nice weight similar to a more expensive sketch pad.
Question:	what is the paper weight
Answer:	I got it for the grand kids to use markers on. It’s thicker the typing paper but not as thick as construction paper

Question:	Are the pages white or cream colored

Answer:	It’s smooth. A little more tooth than computer paper but nothing I would call rough.

Question:	Are these sketch books 100 pages each or 200 pages? The description states 100 pages, but the images show each book has 200 pages

User questions & answers

Question:	will this paper work in a printer, or is it to heavy
Answer:	I don't think so, it's pretty heavy. It's for drawing on, not printing on.
Question:	Do the papers come out of the book easily or is the binding sturdy enough to hold the papers together
Answer:	These books are very well made. The paper comes out very easily.
Question:	What do you recommend for flash cards pre-school age
Answer:	Index cards
Question:	Is this grainy paper or like printer paper
Answer:	This is definitely more like printer paper. More flimsy even. I was concerned about the same thing, saw the other answers and ordered it. Perhaps they've changed the paper since the other answers were written, but it's definitely nothing more than plain white printer paper. I was really disappointed.

Answer:	I bought this as a gift so I'm not excatly sure but I'm pretty sure it was white

User questions & answers

Question:	I'm new to colored pencil......... is this the right kind of paper to buy for this
Answer:	It is good for colored pencil. Buy the smaller pad to experiment with to see if you like it and remember there are 2 sides to the paper. Not being facetious, The sides are usually slightly different in "tooth" so one side might work better for you than the other. Good luck!
Question:	what is the shipping cost
Answer:	Free I think at least if you are a member. It was free for me
Question:	Are the tiny indents lines on the paper? Or dots? I can't find charcoal paper without lines which ruin fine details. Thanks
Answer:	My purchase was a gift sent elsewhere, FWIW, in my very modest experience with using charcoal to draw on paper, the textured surface takes on the charcoal easier than the smooth surface.
Question:	i need to know what series has NO spirial as binder to send to jail inmate
Answer:	The Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper Pad has NO spiral binder

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this paper's thickness compare to regular white copy paper? I'm wanting to make leather-bound journals with it
Answer:	Hello Germy, the papers thickness probably wouldn't be good for leathebound journals as it seems to be too thin for the permanence that you might be seeking. This paper is basically for children's simple drawings; hence the large amount of paper in each pack. The paper you seek might be available at Stapes. I recently had a family diary copied and bound there and the paper used was thick and of the quality you might be seeking.
Question:	as these are "manila" sheets...are they the same as what manila folders are made of? i LOVE manila folder paper so want to be sure it's the same
Answer:	No, they are not as thick as manila folders. They are thin sheets for drawing and they are not like Kraft paper. It is usually used for children to draw on.
Question:	Is the texture, color and feel of the paper similar to what was used in children's coloring books a long time ago
Answer:	WOW....I used to color in those coloring books...a long time ago. I can't remember the texture in those books, but this paper does not have a smooth shiny type of texture..I'd say it has that slightly rougher unfinished quality about it...good for letting crayons and markers make a good solid line.
Question:	Can this paper be used for toddler tempera paint
Answer:	It is for use with dry media like crayon and colored pencil. We would recommend a tagboard or mixed media paper for use with paints.
