Review: defective paper! Updated: Clairfontaine stands behind the quality of their product, thank you. - I bought Pastelmat a year ago that did not have this problem. When my paper arrived today it had a little crunchie in the corner of the pad from being shipped from the UK, not to bad so I thought the paper would be ok otherwise but I was shocked when I opened the shrink wrap on the pad. Every sheet had these little white spots embedded in the paper, more noticeable on the dark sheets. One of the anthracite sheets had a big scuff mark. One of the white sheets had a dark spot and black specks. This appears to be manufacturing defects, as the white spots will not come off, they are in the paper. One of the sheets had a wrinkled glassine sheet as if it had been opened before. I am including photos of all these sheets. I am in the US so this paper is very expensive and comes from the UK. I called desertcart with my complaint as it will be hard to draw on this paper with all the defects. Just want everyone know to be careful as my pad came with defects on every sheet. I am very very disappointed. UPDATE: I have contacted Clairfontaine directly and they stated there was a defective run that has been corrected at their manufacturing facility. Some of the defective batch had already been sent to distributors, thus difficult to track. They stand behind the quality of their product and sent me full replacements for my defective Pastelmat. I received absolutely perfect Pastelmat in just a few days! So just be aware that some of the 3rd party sellers may have defective batches in their inventory. Pastelmat is really unique and excellent for both colored pencils and pastels. I highly recommend this product!
Review: Best paper so far! - Love this paper! So easy to create pastel art on this paper!
