The Strathmore 400 Series Marker Paper Pad 9" x 12" is specifically designed for use with markers, offering clean results, accurate color performance, and a comfortable working surface. It belongs to Strathmore’s professional 400 Series, created for artists who want consistency, control, and dependable quality.
The pad includes 24 sheets / 48 pages of heavyweight white 190gsm (55.5 lb.) paper with a smooth surface. This smooth finish helps markers glide evenly across the page, making it ideal for clean coloring, illustration, character design, lettering, and detailed line work.
Its main advantage is that the paper is engineered to prevent color from soaking through or showing on the back side of the sheet. That means cleaner work, less wasted paper, and a much better experience when working with bold colors or multiple layers.
It is suitable for alcohol-based, water-based, and solvent-based markers, as well as fineliners, inks, and mechanical pencils, offering flexibility for both sketching and finished artwork. The paper is also 100% recycled, contains 30% post-consumer fiber, and is acid free, combining professional performance with more responsible production.
This is the kind of pad that makes working with markers feel easier and more controlled — because when the paper performs properly, everything else falls into place.
