TECNICA is semi-transparent paper, very smooth and white, resistant to water and solvents. The main features of this paper derive from its surface that does not allow ink or colors to pass through it and stain the sheets or surfaces underneath. It does not absorb ink, leaving outlines sharp and clean and thereby also reducing consumption of the marker. The semi-transparency makes it easy to copy drawings. Used mainly with markers of every type, including those made with solvents or alcohol, but also for line drawings, as it works equally well with fine liners, Indian ink or Chinese ink, making it excellent for calligraphy and manual lettering. Widely used for layouts, Manga drawings and story-boarding. Recommended for graphic artists, architects, designers, artists, students, etc. MUSA is a family owned company in Milan, Italy.
