Wax Wrote:Where does the school of Jack stand on the use of gridded paper under the perma trace as a guide? personally I hate it, a grid printed on the perma trace is one thing a bit of very stretchy paper is another. I always use a scale rule (unless provided with grided perma trace) and demonstrate to people the variances in the grid on a bit of graph paper. And no it does not take longer using a scale rule. Use of the right materials and tools and knowing why to use them is vital.
You might want to check the grid on the permatrace, A1s are usually ok but we've had batches of A3 where the scale's off in one direction, we think it stretches slightly going through the printing machinery...
Anyone else used K-Trace? [the Herts Trust bought a load years back, only place I've seen it] Hilarious, it shrank when it got wet....
