Deleter - COMIC BOOK PAPER - Type A | Size A4 (210x297mm)

Produced by: Deleter (Japan)
Deleter's own comic paper is a nice, heavy, high quality stock with a smooth surface that's perfect for use with a pen or brush. Each sheet in the type A pad has pre-printed rulers along each edge as well as centre line markings, a drawing area guide and trim marks just like professional comic artist boards. The printing is in a very light blue (sometimes known as non-repro blue) that doesn't show up when the page is photographed for printing (it should be easy enough to set a scanner to not register the blue but we've yet to try and see if a photocopier picks it up).

This A4 sized pad is designed for what's known in Japan as Doujinshi (fan/small press comics) which tend to be the JIS standard B5 size (182x257mm) - sorry we know it gets confusing. Basically, the marks are set up so that you're drawing your original page the same size as the finished comic.
Pad size - A4 (210x297mm) Drawing area - B5 (182x257mm)
135gsm - 40 sheets
