Sketching Papers are manufactured with a lighter weight paper recommended for trial and practice and for recording ideas. The lightweight paper is too thin, too translucent, and too brittle to be recommended for permanent works of art.

Pen and Marker Papers have an extremely smooth surface, the ideal finish for a medium in which sharp lines and transitions are needed. The paper is sized to resist absorption of color, to prevent lines from bleeding.

Recycled Papers are either 100% post-consumer or blended. Post-consumer fiber is the greenest choice, however the recycling process shortens the fibers and thus weakens the final product. For this reason, some artists prefer a paper that is manufactured with a blend of new and recycled fiber.

Scholastic Papers are affordable and economical to suit classroom budgets, and they are easy for young artists to handle.

Watercolor Tape-Bound Pads feature either archival or acid-free paper. Archival watercolor papers are made with a fiber source, such as 100% cotton rag, that will last for centuries without conservation. Acid-free papers, based on cellulose fiber, will eventually yellow as their buffering is exhausted, depending on atmospheric conditions where they are stored and displayed. Although conservation is possible, their lifespan without conservation should be measured in decades, not centuries.
