Bachmore 9”x12” Artist’s Tracing Paper Pad, 75 Sheets – Translucent Tracing Paper for Pencil, Marker and Ink - Trace Images, Sketch, Preliminary Drawing, Overlays 32 LB / 50 GSM

This was used to capture photos for school project. Grandaughter had fun using this .

We homeschool, and my kids’ curriculum this year requires them to trace in some geography lessons. We rarely did that in the past and used parchment paper instead. This is the perfect size and easier for them to see through. It tears out of the notepad easily, but it’s still sturdy feeling. It’s definitely suitable for any small tracing project.

This product did not disappoint it was great help in finishing my end work for a project I needed to get done.

The bottom line is this paper is very good quality especially at this price point. You will not find anything better under $10 (key point). If you are looking for thick paper then this is not the right product for you. You will need to buy something in the $15-20 range. The transparency of the paper is even throughout unlike Strathmore, Canson, Bienfang or any other paper in this lower tier price range. The transparency level is comparable to much more expensive brands, however, this paper is noticeably thinner which is perfectly okay for a budget level paper. The overall quality of the paper reminds me of the good quality vegetable-like tracing vellum you used to find in the 70s and 80s before almost all the companies discontinued or cheaped out to make their product cheaper thus the quality greatly suffered. I tried various degrees of pencils, felt tip pens, and even ink applied with a brush. All mediums laid on nicely on the paper. The paper did not wrinkle with the pen/brush and ink (thats a very good sign and indicates a good quality paper). The only strike I can give is the paper is a bit on the thin side, however, it is perfectly acceptable for a lower tier cost paper. It is not super thin but it is far different than a thick $15-20 tracing paper product. I purchased this product because I was looking for an economical option in comparison to the expensive and thicker tracing paper vellum I use for my art. I took a risk and was rewarded. I am impressed with this product and that says a lot if you knew me. I am a professional artist with over 40 years experience. I have tried many products over the years. I know whats good and what is junk. Reviews mentioning product damage might be true but I did not experience it. I ordered two pads. Both pads were enclosed in protective cellophane from the manufacturer which is a good sign and unlike you will see with any budget brand, Strathmore, Canson, or Bienfang. Cellophane wrapping is usually reserved for the highest quality brands. Maybe the company was aware of the damage problem and implemented this correction in response. Give it a try. I think you will be happy like I was. At the very least you wasted only around $5. And if you are not happy Amazon will take it back or the manufacturer will likely stand by their quality guarantee. (And no I was not paid or encouraged to write this review. I think praise should be given to companies that do a good job.)

Worked as expected. My kids and I had a ton of fun!

Good product

The quality of the paper was excellent. My only complaint is that the paper was damaged is shipping, rendering part of every page unusable. Wasn’t worth returning, I needed to stat a project right away.

It came fast and wad exactly what i thought it would be. I couldnt find any tracing paper at stores near me.

I tried this paper mostly by reading some of the reviews and figured why not? and glad I did. I use a lot of tracing paper in my studio. This is better than the Straathmore 25lb paper I was using. I can see images better through it and I like the vellum-like surface. Great price, too. This is my new paper of choice and will also be recommending it to my students as well.

I love this tracing paper. It is the right thickness, transparency and texture - not too thin so that it could tear and the perfect transparency for tracing. I use it to practice sketching. Tracing helps me to get a feel for the image and makes it easier to draw it on my own.
