Paint Snowflakes On Construction Paper

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Great construction and excellent paint. It also arrived with a good supply of mounting hardware. I am well pleased with my purchase.

The construction although plastiky is very solid. The paint used is non oil based which means its resistant to smudges and alcohol. The image I can say is on par with those cheap $ microscope albeit with a smaller image circle. The nob works fine for the focus but the zoom is really kind of gimmicky that dose not really zoom. The led serves its purpose, and the removable transparent stand is a nice welcome.

I paint in oils and watercolors from which I am now producing limited edition giclees using a Canon ImageGraf Pro 2100. I bought this pack of 25 so I could do many proofs in preparation for the larger giclees from the 24x39 roll of the same paper. No fault of the paper I had to throw out more than half because I was calibrating and color correcting my images as I printed to get them right. I figured the small price of the pack was worth it and about 10 were sent to the art gallery to sell at $75 each. Now those corrected, almost perfect images are saved and no more wasting paper on them. Not until I go to the next batch of art images that I am turning into giclees. Learning curve I call it. This is beautiful textured paper that retains every brush stroke on the original oil painting. The colors are fully saturated and distinctful. I downloaded the ICC profile from the Hahnemuhle website to use in Photoshop CS6. I am so in love with my printer and the giclees it produces now. I use a Canon Mark II to photograph my original art, then correct the images for giclees.

No issues working with Epson Stylus Pro 3800. I color profiled with ColorMunki and the results were similar to Epson's Matte Canvas profile. Either one was fine- just had to increase exposure a little before printing. It was challenging using rear feeder but I had no issue feeding cut sheets in the regular feeder- just taped photo paper to the back to keep stiff. Cut up paper with guillotine to size. I paint on top of the printed canvas with acrylic paint and am really happy with the results.

I use this paper for images I digitally paint and/or work on in mixed media. The weight of VFA paper gives me a lot of latitude in how I choose to use it, and the prints are rich in color and clarity. Just make sure your printer can print paper this thick.

I was looking for some paper, preferably cards that I could use for Christmas prints. This was a perfect choice. The paint goes so smooth, the colors are bright, love it.

This is the perfect size and form factor for what I do. It's sturdy, not bulky, and bright enough to see what I'm doing without blinding everyone. My only issue is that the photo shows it as solid red, and the description (which I should have read better) notes that it has snowflakes on it. It in fact does have snowflakes printed on it. At least it's unique enough to not get stolen.

Photographing snowflakes became an obsession. But 2-5 times magnification appeared relegated to the Canon macro crowd. Until now....... The Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Nikon Z, provided the magnification muscle to get the job done, without going through McGyver gyrations to increase Snowflake size. The photographs came out crystal clear and tac sharp.

Used this for super macro lens reversal technique for shooting snowflakes. Attach secondary lens backward to primary lens, and use correct combination of these on back side of secondary lens to surface of shooting plane to set focal length- works great.
