The Silvine A4 Tracing Pad is designed for artists, designers, and hobbyists who need a reliable surface for sketches, overlays, and transfers. Its key benefit is the high-quality, heavyweight 90gsm acid-free paper that ensures vibrant results and longevity. A minor caveat is that while it lays flat, very heavy use might eventually affect the glue binding.

The tracing paper is heavyweight at 90gsm.
The pad contains 50 sheets of tracing paper.
It is not recommended to use wet media like markers, as they can bleed through or cause the paper to warp. This pad is best suited for dry media.
No, the paper is acid-free, which prevents it from yellowing and ensures longevity of your artwork.
Pages are attached with a glue binding and can be carefully peeled or lifted away from the pad.
Yes, it is suitable for preliminary sketches, overlays, and transferring linework for professional use due to its quality and weight.
This tracing pad is made in the UK.
Gently pull the page upwards from the glue binding. If resistance is met, try using a ruler or a firm card to assist in separating the page cleanly from the binding edge.
Ensure you are using dry media and not applying excessive pressure. Check that the pad is stored flat and has not been exposed to moisture, which can weaken the paper fibers.
While the 90gsm paper offers good opacity, very dark or saturated media might still show slightly. For such instances, consider using a second sheet as an overlay or a darker surface underneath.
Setup: This tracing pad requires no setup. Simply open the fold-over cover and begin using. The pad is designed to lay flat on any stable surface.
Compatibility: The Silvine A4 Tracing Pad is compatible with a wide range of dry art media, including graphite pencils, colored pencils, charcoal, pastels, and fine-liner pens. It is not recommended for use with wet media such as markers, ink washes, or watercolors, as the paper is not designed to withstand high moisture levels and may warp or bleed.
Care: Store the pad flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the paper quality. Keep the cover closed when not in use to protect the sheets from dust and damage. Handle the pages gently when removing them from the binding to avoid tearing.
