Deleter is a company that prints pro quality paper and I would recommend it.<BR/><BR/>As for paper printed by comic book publishers, I would love a ream of DC stock but they don't have anything you or I could not get. <BR/><BR/>Years ago, I did some work for a no-name publisher. He did not have a business plan or enough money to pay his artists, but the first thing he did was to have his own paper printed.<BR/>( I think I will post a blog about that guy..)<BR/><BR/>My point is, don't be so down on the amateur that would want to use Blue Line Pro or the 'Fanboy' paper. It's like a high school basketball player playing a game in Madison Square Garden. You may not be a pro, but you feel good acting like one.Don Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525060094282561242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15085631.post-43046487545053459912007-11-28T12:01:00.000-08:002007-11-28T12:01:00.000-08:00I'm kinda against the idea of buying pre-printed d...I'm kinda against the idea of buying pre-printed drawing paper on principle. I think "Fanboy" is an appropriate name for such a product. I mean, what's so darn difficult about drawing your own darn rectangle? I don't mind it so much when a professional artist uses the pre-printed Marvel or DC boards, but that's only because I understand that they are given to their artists free, to standardize the output of their work. They probably have a system set up that make weird deviations in size a hassle. And I understand the allure of FREE! (As an aside, at conventions I've seen DC pages drawn on Marvel boards and vice versa, I think that's pretty funny) But stuff like Blue Line Pro... give me a break! I think that stuff has to be made to sell to people who want to "FEEL" like a "PRO." Nothing screamns "AMATEUR" like Blue Line Pro. I mean, when you get right down to it, it's just a sheet of Strathmmore 300 with some light blue lines printed on it. And here's the kicker, that stuff costs about 25% more than a comparable amount of blank white paper. I am a cheap son of a gun and I sure don't need to pay that much extra just to have a rectangle drawn for me. Personally, I buy a big ol' pad of Strathmore 300 and cut it to size and then I draw a rectangle and it's not that hard.Allen Gladfelterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641680976213569969noreply@blogger.com
