Several folks have e-mailed asking about the paper sizes and prices vs. others. Basically they wanted to know which one price/size was the best deal. I know all of the papers come in different sheet sizes and/or packages so I decided to do the math so I could answer the question as best I can. I took all of the measurements and figured out the prices by the inch. So basically below is the paper cost for one square inch of paper. I was rather surprised that some of the papers preforming the best (IMO) were some of the cheapest!
Most expensive to the least expensive:
(per square inch)
Arches Cold Press 140lb - $ 0.012
Ranger - $ 0.01
Arches Hot Press 140lb - $ 0.0089
Fabrino Artistico - $ 0.0053
Hero Hues - $ 0.0053
Fabrino Studio - $ 0.0025
Dick Blick 140lb CP - $ 0.0023
Bienfng - $ 0.0016
Strathmore 140lb CP - $ 0.0016
Canson 140lb CP - $ 0.0015
Dick Blick Student WC - $ 0.0014
Canson Mixed Media Paper - $ 0.0009
Dick Blick Mixed Media Paper - $ 0.0009
Crayola WC paper - $ 0.0004
So there you go...
true price of each of the different WC papers.
Hope that helps!
