User questions & answers

Question:	This pad is good enough for watercolors
Answer:	It is supposed to have a 3D view, I haven't figured it out yet.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many pages is it
Answer:	75 sheets per book.
Question:	I am seeing a lot of people say that this is not 9x12 but is 9x6. What is the correct size
Answer:	There are 2 sizes available for this item, 9x6 and 12x9. The default size on Amazon is 9x6. It's possible some people didn't change to the 12x9 size when ordering or maybe there's an issue with these items numbering at Amazon resulting in the wrong size being sent. I, however, didn't have any issues. I ordered 2 of the 12x9 to give as gifts so cannot measure to verify the accuracy, but from what I recall the size was correct - they were definitely not 9x6. They were very nice sketch books. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this paper smooth enough for use with dip pens? Thanks
Answer:	There is not a lot of texture with this paper, but there is a small amount. This paper should work okay with dip pens, but it may not be the best choice.
Question:	Is it white
Answer:	The cover is blue as shown, and the paper is white.
Question:	Will the pages tear out by accident easily when you turn the page? Is it sturdy enough
Answer:	I use the 18x24 size and the pages never come out. It is actually a bit annoying to take pages out if you want to.
Question:	Does this work with copic markers? Do the colors bleed through
Answer:	My daughter uses these notebooks with her Copic Markers. It did bleed through the piece of paper to the other side but it DID NOT get any marker on the next page! This could depend on how heavy you use the markers but she colors and does some blending with her Copics and hasn't ruined a new page in her notebook yet. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this smooth paper for calligraphy writing
Answer:	Yes - this product (Online Labels' product code OL996WX) can be used as a temporary name tag on clothing.
Question:	Are the pages perforated
Answer:	This product (Online Labels' product code OL996WX) has Online Labels' standard permanent adhesive. Because the label is paper-based, it will likely tear when you try to remove it from a metal wall after it has been applied for 30 days. I don't think it will remove easily or cleanly. You may want to consider one of the weatherproof Online Labels' products like Online Labels' product OL996WJ (weatherproof for inkjet printing) or Online Labels' product OL996LP (weatherproof for laser printing). The weatherproof products have a strong adhesive, but they tend to remove in one piece because they are made from non-paper materials and don't tear as easily. Online Labels would be happy to provide you with sample sheets of the different products at no charge if you would like to test them on the metal wall prior to purchase. You can request samples here: https://www.onlinelabels.com/samples
Question:	is the paper suitable for watercolor
Answer:	This product is commonly used on clamshells for wax melts. That being said, there are a variety of clamshells for wax melts and they require different size labels. This label is 3" x 2" in size. I highly recommend that you measure the area you want to label with a ruler to confirm this label size works with your specific clamshell. Online Labels is happy to send you a sample sheet of this product (Online Labels' product code OL996WX) at no charge for you to test on your clamshell to confirm it fits before making the purchase.
Question:	is it machine washable
Answer:	They work best on rectangle and square soaps. If the shapes are small enough it could work but it’s not tidy looking. I use small cellophane bags for shapes.
