Reviews

Plike, a name derived from "plastic-like," is an innovative, unique paper with a smooth, pleasant touch evocative of both plastic and rubber.

An ecological response to the industry's use of plastic materials, Plike offers the simplicity and versatility of traditional paper, yet appeals to those designers who look for new sensations and sensuous inspirations.

Machine-made in Italy of 100% sulphite, Plike is great for charcoal, pastel, and silverpoint. Its myriad applications include offset lithography, silkscreen, thermography, blind embossing, and foil stamping.

The 28" × 20" (71 cm × 51 cm) sheets won't rip, making them ideal for banners.

122 lb (330 gsm).

Handling Charge — When ordering sheets of paper or board larger than 18” x 24” in quantities of less than 10, a $3.00 per order handling fee applies. Paper or boards may be assorted to reach the quantity of 10.

Plike paper is my first choice for silverpoint drawing.

By Ted

from Joliet, IL.

Comments about Plike Paper:

I like the way it is easy to draw with silver on plike paper. My silver drawings tarnish nicely (a desired effect) and the paper requires no surface preparation; unlike masonite and watercolor paper, which need 8 to 10 coats with sanding in-between to be suitable to draw on.

Wonderful for class silverpoint drawings

By J loves art

Comments about Plike Paper:

Recommended by the teacher in my drawing class for silverpoint. This paper can be used right out of the box for silverpoint--no preparation required. Drawing with silverpoint on other surfaces requires preparation with materials that can be toxic. This paper takes any metal-point and is easy to use. Some lovely portrait drawings have occurred in class using this paper.

Paper is limited for dry pastel use

By PastelGal

Comments about Plike Paper:

Bought this to try for dry pastel and silverpoint drawing. Tested the white paper with silverpoint and it seemed to work well but this was a small sample test.

As for pastel, it has limited capacity for usage and can only take one layer. Tried pastel pencils, hard/soft/extra soft pastels. Some Nupastels worked but others didn't. Did not accept very soft pastel. Cannot blend pastel. Wiped off one layer of pastel but surface wouldn't accept anymore. Do NOT suggest using this for pastel. Now I have 2 dark sheets that I can't use with silverpoint or pastel!!1
