Pro Grade 70 A3

The Ultimate Large-Format Surface for Master Animators

Chromacolour Pro Grade 70 in A3 size is the sturdiest, most reliable large-format paper available for traditional animation. Measuring 297mm x 420mm, this paper is engineered specifically for widescreen cinematic sequences, expansive character movements, and detailed background layouts.

The premium 70gsm weight provides a significant upgrade in structural integrity, ensuring that even at the large A3 scale, the paper remains crisp, flat, and resistant to the curling or sagging often associated with lighter stocks.

Choose Your Professional Registration

We provide this premium 70gsm stock in two distinct formats to suit your specific requirements:

• Punched (ACME Standard): Precision 3-pin ACME punched and ready for immediate use with Chromacolour Peg Bars and Lightboxes. Ideal for maintaining absolute frame-to-frame registration in complex large-scale sequences.

• Unpunched: A clean, edge-to-edge, uninterrupted sheet. This is the preferred choice for background artists, storyboard designers, and those utilizing custom registration systems or wide-format scanners.

Technical Superiority: Strength Meets Clarity

What sets the Pro Grade 70 apart is the unique marriage of structural "heft" and optical transparency. Using a specialized blend of hardwood and softwood pulps, we have created a fine-grained sheet with technical properties unrivalled by standard art-store papers:

• 6-Level Translucency: Despite the heavier weight, this paper remains highly translucent, allowing for visibility through up to 6 layers on a lightbox. This is critical for deep, multi-level A3 compositions.

• Resilient Surface Tooth: Calibrated to provide a sophisticated "middle-ground" feel, smooth enough for fluid gesture drawing, yet with enough resistance for precise clean-up control.

• Erasability: The 70gsm body handles repeated reworking and multiple erasures,  essential for refining high-stakes character designs.

• Low-Bleed Performance: Designed to accept professional markers and fine-liners with minimal feathering, maintaining sharp, high-contrast lines for digital pipelines.

Sustainable Excellence & Studio Protection

Chromacolour is dedicated to a policy of environmental respect. We prioritize the use of sustainable raw materials and eco-friendly additives in our production line, ensuring our paper is as kind to the planet as it is to your artwork.

To protect your large-format investment, every 1000-sheet pack is supplied in a re-usable storage box. This prevents edge damage and keeps your A3 paper perfectly flat and dust-free until the moment you are ready to draw.
