Tracing Paper – Characteristics
Tracing Paper is a translucent paper known for its unique ability to allow light to pass through it. Its primary function is to be placed over an existing image or drawing, enabling a user to see through it and accurately trace or replicate the design underneath.
Key Characteristics:
High Translucency : This is its defining feature. It is treated with chemicals or mechanically refined to create a dense, smooth, and see-through surface, making underlying lines clearly visible.
Smooth Surface : It has a very smooth, often slightly glossy finish. This allows pencils, pens, and technical drawing instruments to glide effortlessly across it without snagging on paper fibers.
Excellent Erasability : It is designed to withstand erasing. Pencil lines can be removed without severely damaging or clouding the paper’s surface, which is essential for drafting and revisions.
Dimensional Stability : High-quality tracing paper is resistant to wrinkling and expanding from humidity, which is critical for maintaining accuracy in technical drawings.
Durability : Despite its thin appearance, it is surprisingly strong and resistant to tearing when handled normally, making it suitable for repeated use.
