User questions & answers

Question:	why can't it be delivered to California
Answer:	I am trying to have this shipped to a California address and it is not allowed either. I can't figure out why it can't ship to California.
Question:	I'm confused. Is this transparent paper you can see thru in order to trace something? Or is it carbon like paper that you can transfer designs with
Answer:	The paper is what I would call translucent; not quite transparent, but lets enough light pass through so that when a sheet is laid on top of an image, the image will show through clearly, enabling one to trace the image onto the tracing paper. I hope this helps.
Question:	Will this allow sharpie bleed through
Answer:	No it actually works really great with any kind of pen or marker. Nothing has managed to bleed through.
Question:	is this paper good for tombow brush pens
Answer:	Yes, that’s what I bought it for too

User questions & answers

Question:	What size are the tracing pages? 8.5x11 or 11x
Answer:	Hi there! We have not tested our Take Note! products to be used for these purposes, so we are unsure of its results. These highlighters will erase with the opposite side of the marker... no cloth needed! For further information, please contact us at Crayola.com/support. Have a colorful day!
Question:	What size sheets does this use? And I'm assuming it should be tracing sheets
Answer:	YES. the blue and purple are very dark and make the text almost illegible. The green is still readable but still unpleasantly dark.
Question:	Where do you get more light bulbs for this? How are they replaced
Answer:	Glad you asked! Take Note! Pastel Party Erasable Highlighters contain colorants which may stain. We haven't tested them to be removed with an iron, and cannot guarantee results. Hope this helps!
Question:	can any picture be placed under the light and traced
Answer:	Thanks for asking! Take Note! Erasable Highlighters will still erase your marks even if they have been on your paper for extended amounts of time. Hope you enjoy your new colorful tools!

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work to trace on cotton fabric
Answer:	I would think it would do that. I use mine to trace onto fusible web for applique, but haven’t actually tried to trace direct onto fabric.
Question:	Can I plug this into a 220v outlet
Answer:	No, the Ultra Thin Litenergy light boards come with a power cord that has a plug on one end like you use for a cell phone which plugs into the light board. The other end has a plug that fits into a USB port. You can purchase for about $6 a plug at any office supply store or online that you can plug the USB port into on one end and the other end has a plug for a wall receptacle. The one I purchased was $5 at Office Depot in USA and plugs into a 110v wall receptacle. Works great. I imagine you can purchase an adapter for 220v as well.
Question:	Have you changed vendors for this tracer? Previous versions were brighter, more uniform ,and more specular on the front
Answer:	The longer you hold down the “on” switch the brighter the Litenergy Ultra Thin light board gets. I have 7 in a variety of sizes for my art studio for students to use and they see daily use. Love them...!
Question:	Can this be used for weeding vinyl
Answer:	yes, this can be used for weeding vinyl.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you tell me the Name of the USB cable i need to purchase. i want a longer one
Answer:	I believe as long as it is a micro USB cable (where one end is the USB into a computer or charger and the other looks like a cell phone plug; think HTC phones) you can find those at any length.
Question:	I just bought this product. Do you always have to keep it plugged in or will it charge enough to turn on with out plugging it in
Answer:	Good news for USB owners - I plugged mine into a Mini 2600mah portable power bank charger and it powers on! I assume I can get a few hours out of it. Right now I'm testing if there's a battery to charge in mine. I'll update this answer with my findings.
Question:	Will the L4S 'shine through' cardstock? I need to be able to trace something onto cardstock from a transparency sheet
Answer:	I've tested and can see pretty clearly through 2 sheets of 100lbs bristol paper.
Question:	Can you see through 140 lb cold press watercolor paper with a piece of line art on copy paper underneath

User questions & answers

Question:	can this go through a printer without attaching it to another sheet of paper
Answer:	I have printed on this paper on 2 different printers without difficulty however I don’t stack it but put it through 1 sheet at a time. I cannot verify that it will work on all printers. This is a good quality paper.
Question:	What is the weight of the paper? I want 25# tracing paper. Thank you
Answer:	There's no need to look further! The individual weight of the sheets in the Crayola Tracing Paper is 25#. We hope this helps!
Question:	Is this paper coated? Will it accept charcoal and chalks? Can I use it in an inkjet printer
Answer:	Great questions! The weight of this paper is 25 pounds. We would recommend using the paper only if your printer can support paper of this thickness. Although charcoal and chalk will adhere to the paper, there might be some smearing that may occur. It is best if you try a test piece to ensure the desired results.

User questions & answers

Question:	How useful is this for animation? Would it replace an animation disc? Is it possible to attach a pegbar to it
Answer:	It has 3 settings: low, medium, & high. The high setting is very bright. I was comfortable using it as a calligrapher, using it to see inside lined envelopes, on the medium setting. However, it quit working after about six weeks. There is something wrong with the connection where plug in the cord to charge or power the device. It quit working and would never turn on again. It didn't matter if I was charging from an outlet or the computer USB. It does not sense the connection & once the battery dies, the device is dead.
Question:	How many hours will this run? Is there a storage cover included
Answer:	Yes, yes, and yes, I like it a lot.
Question:	What material is the surface made of? Can you use a razor blade on the surface
Answer:	You have to use paper. This is just a light to help you to see to trace your picture.
Question:	Would this be good for transfering art to watercolor paper? (would it shine well enough through watercolor paper
Answer:	Dear Jeanne: I am not sure if it will go thru 140lb watercolor paper I use it to trace my patterns on my quilt and it is bright enough to go thru copy paper and the material. I tried it on 110 card stock and it was bright enough to shine thru that.
