Saral Transfer (Tracing) Paper Graphite All-Purpose 12 1/2 in. X 12 Ft. Roll (RL Graphite)

I usually make my own transfer paper using graphite and lighter fluid on tracing paper, but this product was easier to obtain, so I gave it a go. I found that my lines stayed sharp, and were erasable. If you have a complicated drawing, you'll probably have some graphite smear, but it's simple to clean it up with a kneaded eraser. I tried using it on 300lb rough watercolor paper, and had to retrace the complex drawing using a sharp 6H pencil, so test it out before making the mistake I did.

VERY PLEASED WITH ITEM, QUALITY, SHIPPING & SERVICE!!!

The problem: how to paint a picture of our school mascot onto two wooden worm composting bins my son built. Free hand was not an option because he wanted it exact. Looked on line and someone suggested taking a big piece of paper, scribbling on the back with a soft lead pencil, then flipping it over and tracing over it, which would leave a faint impression on the surface to be painted. They described it as homemade transfer paper. Transfer paper? We'd never hear of it, but of course, after a quick search on Amazon, we found it. Well, it worked perfectly! He just took a blown up PDF of the mascot, taped it to the transfer paper, taped the transfer paper to the box, and traced over all the design with a regular pencil. It left a nice impression on the wood and he was able to paint right onto it. He also printed out some letters in large font off the computer and transferred and painted the school name the same way. This was much cleaner and easier that scribbling on the back of a paper in soft lead pencil. I highly recommend keeping a roll of this stuff around the house! I can think of many ways it could be useful for different DIY projects.

Great product for tracing but it does smear.

I have used SARAL for years in my art practice. It is a reliable way to transfer a loose 'map' of an image from sketchbook or photo to canvas. Like an outline for a book, it captures the basic shape and layout of your subject, but gives you full latitude to develop the image creatively. I find the rolls last a long, long time. It is especially useful when teaching painting to students with little skill or confidence in their drawing skills. It is my go to brand for transfer paper.

I purchased this to trace an embroidery pattern onto fabric. I designed the pattern on my computer, printed it out on regular paper, and then used this Saral paper to transfer to white denim. The final project is an embroidered kids pillow. I had to push really hard to get the blue to go through, usually tearing the paper - which led to less accurate tracing. And even then, i got a decent pattern traced onto the fabric but not great. And more importantly, immediately after i started working on the project, much of the tracing started rubbing out completely. Luckily, i had also bought a blue washable fabric tracing marker, and i went over the whole original tracing with the marker. That marker is still in place 6 weeks later (let's hope it actually washes out after setting into the fabric so long).

I purchased the Saral Transfer Paper Roll in blue and have been using it as I trace sewing patterns onto the Sun Glo White Thumbnail Sketch Tracing Paper. The paper consistently transfers marks with the use of a tracing wheel with very few smudges from where the paper is held in place by my fingers/hand. I've used other transfer papers that have left many unwanted marks; this transfer paper seems to do so less frequently. This comes in a roll/box very similar to kitchen waxed paper, although without a cutting edge. I've pulled out the length of paper needed and then cut with scissors. Be sure to wipe your scissors off if you are concerned about transferring the color with your next use. I've been very pleased with the blue paper; it works well for tracing patterns and also could be used to transfer pattern markings to appropriate fabric. I'll order again when my first roll is nearing its end!

Great product for artists to transfer pictures

Se suposa que el Graphite és "all purpose" i que és net i no embrut, però no és així. És el paper de carbó de tota la vida i només de col·locar-lo, sense haver traçat res, ja tindràs tota la superfície plena de DITADES.

Product is effective especially with the crinkled patterning... I wasnt expecting a textured effect.

The delivery was super fast, packaging was very good and the paper is of excellent quality. I use it often for my sketches and paintings.

Does the job well. Cut the amount you need and reuse saves money. I have even used this to trace markings on fabrics. It does smudge. Leaves dark markings after I finished tracing or transfering on my art works which is hard to get rid of.

Ottima qualità forse il meglio sul mercato.
