Our STUDIO Case sketchbooks are black wibalin cloth covered CASEBOUND books in portrait format. Features 92 sides/46 pages (76 sides in the A3 books) of heavyweight 170gsm acid free cartridge paper This premium paper has sufficient tooth (surface texture) to hold soft media but not so much as to hinder finer, graphic work thus making it suitable for all dry applications. Folded, cut, glued and sewn throughout this book is produced using the traditional bookbinding process. Proper case bound books are made to withstand heavy use and, if looked after, will function for many years. Covering the board with the wibalin cloth reduces moisture getting to the greyboard beneath and therefore restricts warping. Looking after your Sketchbook We often get asked if you can use wet media (watercolour/ink etc) in our books. Cartridge papers are not the ideal surface for such applications, lacking the strength and rigidity required, however if you don't mind a bit of buckling then it's not a problem. Our heavier cartridge certainly helps to resist these effects although the wetter the surface the more it will be affected.
