Compared to Stonehenge how toothy is the bristol vellum?

Thanks for reaching out to us! We reached out to one of our art educators about your question and this is what she came back with: "I would describe the 500 Bristol Vellum as having a more prominent texture than Stonehenge. The 500 Bristol Vellum's texture is also very regular- it has more of an even, distinct pattern. The Stonehenge paper doesn't have a regular pattern, the texture is more like the texture on Strathmore's 500 Mixed Media. Also, Stonehenge has a softer surface than the 500 Bristol Vellum, so the texture flattens out a bit more when you shade on it vs. the 500 Bristol Vellum which has a firmer surface and therefore holds its texture more during shading (which makes the texture more prominent when you draw/shade on it.)

Is this cold press Bristol?

This is a Plate surface Bristol so it would be more like a hot press than a cold.

Thanks for writing to us, our 500 Series Bristol Plate works well with graphite pencil, pen & ink, marker, mixed media and collage

What paper do you recommend for fine detail like Zentangles using micron pens. It also needs to be heavyweight for making tiles.

I use my Strathmore 500 primarily for colored pencil but did find the Micron lay down was smooth with no skips. I would want a heavier wait for tiles.

一箇所にへこみ傷がついていた

無事に届きましたが、一箇所にボールペンの先で突いたような凹みがあり、表紙と一枚目の本体の紙に凹みがあります、クレームとして返品も考えましたが、用紙の中央ではなく少し周辺に近いところだったので、今回は我慢して収めました。写真をご覧いただくとお分かりだと思います。用紙一枚だけのダメージでしたのと、用紙の縁から5cm程度のところでしたので、我慢して使用することにしました、アメリカから直送でしたが、梱包が簡略で薄いダンボール一枚の厚みの封筒に入って送られてきました。ボールペンのようなもので突いたような傷なので輸送中に尖った物にぶつかってできたものかと思います、今後気をつけていただきたいと思います。
