ClairefontaineRef GPL1A3Z - Goldline Layout Pad (Contains 80 Sheets) - A3 (420 x 297mm) in Size, 50gsm Paper, FSC-Certified, Degree of Transparency, Acid Free

Fantastic quality paper, tranparent enough to copy through but thick enough to be able to use copic pens, pit pens etc on with only very minimal bleed through. Super smooth and white my only critism would be that it is difficult to remove pages.

Works well for fpp.

I bought this pad for university and so far I am very impressed with it. The paper doesn't bleed when using rendering markers and the level of transparency is spot on. Just be careful not to expose it to rain as the front cover gets easily ruined. I also found there is a slight imperfection with the binding on the edge which meant occasionally the pages are difficult to peel off. I would like to see a more competitive price on this product as I don't feel it offers superb value for money. Having said that, I am very pleased with this purchase.

I've used Goldline Layout pads before so had no qualms about purchasing this online. Naturally the paper is good for layout work (it's easy to see through) but will bleed a bit if used as marker paper, however it's ideal for rough visuals if you use a backing sheet to stop the ink bleeding through. It was afford-ably priced and delivered promptly. No complaints!

Do not buy this pad if you want it to learn Calligraphy! The paper quality is rubbish, it bleeds through to the other pages

I have bought it to make some fountain pen practice (Pilot Parallel Pen), and the ink goes through it. Although it is perfect for pencil work, strong and thin paper, and a little bit trasparent.

This was a good pad for my Design & Surveying Skills module at university, fits well in an a3 portfolio with easy to tear out pages when you need to scan a piece or make a fresh start.

Always arrives in pristine condition. A very good quality layout pad ideal for initial scamps and development of ideas using markers.
