A block made of pure cellulose with a beautiful warm and light ivory shade. Its fine smooth surface makes it perfect for calligraphy. It is recommended for pens, inks and brushes. It is also suitable for techniques such as engraving, screen printing and monotype. The block contains 25 pages of 130 g paper and is 24 x 30 cm in size.

It is important to know

Before choosing a Clairefontaine 24x30 cm calligraphy pad, it is essential to consider how well its size, paper weight and number of sheets match your actual use in a business environment. It is also important to assess whether the parameters of the pad meet your technical or creative needs, so as not to encounter practical limitations.

• 130gsm paper is suitable for most painting and writing techniques, but with very wet media, slight deformation may occur if not properly backed.
• The 24x30 cm format provides a large enough drawing surface for sketches, presentations and calligraphy drafts, but may prove less convenient when carrying or storing in standard business folders.
• For larger teams or frequent use, 25 sheets may mean that the supply will need to be replenished more frequently, especially in environments where a larger volume of creative material is required.
• Uniform paper quality across all sheets ensures consistent results, which is useful for professional presentations or batch drafting.

In practice

🟢 Technical drawing and sketching

The block is very suitable for technical sketches, diagrams and drafts, as it offers a sufficiently smooth surface and solid paper structure, which is important for precise work with a pencil, pen or ink.

🟡 Use with wet paints

Suitable with limitations, as medium-thick paper can withstand some moisture, but for very water-based techniques (e.g. watercolor) it is recommended to use a backing or watch out for deformations.

🟢 Visual presentations or prototyping

Due to its compact format and paper quality, the pad is very useful for quickly preparing visual materials, concept drafts, and presentation content in a corporate environment.

🟡 Group work or workshops

Suitable with limitations - a 25-sheet pad is suitable for individual use or small groups, but for larger teams or multiple workshops, the supply will need to be replenished quickly.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is this block suitable for use with markers?

The paper is compact enough for most markers, but very heavily pigmented markers may partially bleed through the sheet with repeated applications.

Can I tear a sheet out of a notebook without tearing the edge?

The leaves are usually glued along the edge and can be carefully torn off, but there is a possibility of minor tears if removed quickly or roughly.

Are the sheets in the pad single-sided or suitable for double-sided drawing?

The sheets allow drawing on both sides, so paper utilization is greater, except with very intensive use of wet media, where the other side may be partially visible.
