How wide is the roll? I need about a metre and does 35gsm mean it's relatively translucent?

12 inches by 50 yards (0.304m x 45.72m). and yes it means its really thin like a tracing paper.

What is the texture of the paper like?

It's smooth. It feels similar to trace but it's much much thinner so it can crease. Quite similar to that thin paper used for baking.

How is the paper to draw with ink, is it the type to not sink into the paper?

It is ok for sketching. If you mean ink like pen, or similar, I would say it is fine. Otherwise, painting and etc it is not good

Half the price its great value

Fast delivery as it said and this should do the job nicely as it will also save me money. I was advised to buy another item different company but I didn't want to overpay when I am just starting off doing dress design again.This will be perfect. and its a bit stronger than the tissue paper that patterns are put on but you can still see through it plus this is half the price win win don't you think.:))

Great paper for layered sketch work

Really good for overlay drawing and such like. Cheaper than sheets of tracing paper, and you can effectively have whatever size sheet you want. Really good for when you are working on an idea and have several layers to your drawing. Quality is nice, takes marker and pencil equally as well from my experience. Would certainly recommend

Great quality, on the expensive side for what it is

Best quality and much narrower diameter than similar paper rolls, so useful for travelling with for sketching over plans on site. Expensive even so.

Good quality and price...

Great to see Amazon now has a supplier that does the white version, (had always bought the yellow paper version, but it is not great when you have to photocopy the paper), so this was perfect and a good price too...

very thin drafting paper

I wanted a thin drafting paper to enable me to copy the designs and plans I produce for scanning into my computer. This paper is very thin, but by overlaying onto my plans, and then using a fine black pen, I am able to produce good clear images for scanning. Just what I wanted
