[Antir_scribes] Charter Paper (Jodie)

[Height, Michelle]

Hi all!

Just my two cents. Avacal has been using Astroparche - cover weight for
years and it copies beautifully - best though the manual feed tray mind
you - but takes the copying nicely. It is lovely for painting on as well
even for those that favour a more watercolour-y approach. We are also
using a new type... I will have to check with Findabhair (Avacal's
Principality Scribe) to see what it is - it's a touch lighter weight
than the Astroparche but still very nice to work on.

Both papers we use do allow some scraping or touchups but not anything
aggressive but frankly any reasonably priced tinted paper - versus white
- is going to be the same way. The top surface always has a slightly
different tone when compared to the paper just under the surface. It is
the problem with using a parchmenty coloured paper versus white stock
frankly.

BTW We get it cut down to 11 x 14 and use the sheet off cuts for
practice sheets for beginning scribes.
