    Primero se lo compre a mi hijo y después uno para mí. Pinto con colores y la hoja resiste bien sin que se ponga fea o se desgaste. Mi hijo lo usa con plumones y aunque traspasa un poco, la hoja no se corruga ni se ablanda, solo basta con poner un cartoncillo para que no traspase a la siguiente hoja.
