How heavy is this paper? I want to make re-usable cut-out patterns; would it hold up to repeated tracing of fine details? - Thanks!

This paper is light. It is almost like plastic paper. It would certainly be light enough for a pencil to trace fine details through, but I don't know that it would last as long as you'd like. Also, it is too light to be able to trace around the edges.... there is no stiffness to it. You might be better off with the stiffer plastic sheets that are used as section dividers for reports. That's what I've used for quilt block pieces that are meant to be reused. There are also a variety of types of plastic sheets that can be found with blueprint and architectural supplies.

I don't think so. It's maybe as thick as 2 sheets of regular paper. Works great as a waterproof paper though.

The paper is not very thick and seems to be rubberized, you should take this into account while working with it. If there are many fine detailes close enough to each other, it can stretch.

65 lb paper. I saw a Moleskine sketchbook on here Amazon that has a paper grade somewhere in the hundreds, but I believe it was lower than 138. I would say this is not a suitable book for watercolor.

51 pounds. Firstly the sheets are very large. Cutting and waste unless you have a over sized printer. Secondly, be certain what you want to use it for. It is made for giving a brighter result for printing fine art. I wanted watercolor paper that would allow me to print on it and then color. It does not work for this. Does not accept watercolors. There are some lighter weight watercolor papers that can be put through a printer. Printer has to be able to handle heavier papers, preferably with a manual feed that puts the paper straight through. I have a Brother that does that.

I like the weight and texture of this Greeting Card paper. It's just right. I also like it that it has a score line so you get a clean sharp fold. The following is a paragraph on the box which is a good description of the paper. "Heavyweight textured premium cardstock with matte coating on both sides creates a professional look".Hope I've helped.

Hellos. This paper is moooost likely med grade. It isn't cheap at all, but it isn't very thick either. (I actually have it with me at all times just in case I get an idea, lol). After feeling it. Definitely medium grade.

I don't think this is what you want. This is 20# ordinary copy paper. It sounds like you are looking for a special purpose paper. If you have a Staple's or Office Depot in your area, you might find your paper there or possibly at an art supply store.

I used some stamps on it (although I don't know what La Blanche are). It IS fairly smooth, no rough tooth. Its essentially printer paper but cardstock weight. I would add that it is not glossy either.

Not knowing exactly what medium weight chipboard is, it's hard to say. But I will say that going through the rated 20 sheets of paper (glossy calendar pages, which are thicker than standard copy paper) seems pretty much at the edge of it's capability. It takes a lot of force, and there is a lot of friction on the punches as they go through that much thickness.

No paper too thick. Tracing paper is best. fun to draw and trace on . My grandkids love it so does mom, especially on rainey days!

hi Evie, it is not a bright light. while I can't answer your question without knowing more I can say I use 20 lb. paper with ink / pencil and clarity is diminished at 4 sheets over original sketch. hope that's enough to figure it out.:-)

The panels are heavier than plain paper. Maybe consistent with wall paper which I don't use. Problems with appearance seem to result mostly from something going wrong with the glue. There were a few complaints about not being able to align the panels correctly. For these reasons plus portability, I intend to mount mine using picture frames or tacks. I think someone has posted pictures of their installation.

I bought this paper to make shoji screens. It's about the same thickness and opacity as printer paper, so you might see silhouettes through it but nothing more than that.

The paper is smooth, I would say like A4 paper, yes. For its weight it does take watercolor paint quite well without bleeding edges or bleeding through.

The roll is 900 feet long which means it costs you under 1 nickel per 1-foot x 2-foot piece of paper. I use it for mounting 8-foot long novel plot graphs on the walls in my writing space. But I've also been known to use it for drawings as well. I've also made my own hand-painted gift-wrap with this paper and it works beautifully. It's the right weight for many little projects that are only limited by my imagination.

this paper is thin vinyl coated paper and is also smooth. You would probably have texture showing through the paper. I returned it because it was not the thick vinyl that I needed to cover my texture.

Guess my previous andswer got sent before I was ready! Manual indicates 17 to 28 pound paper. I see other responder has used heavier paper apparently with no problem. I have not tried that.
