Background
The popularity of this paper in the USA goes back many years. Its growth in use in Australia can be traced back to the time of the design of the new Parliament House when American Architects brought it with them. The excellent qualities of this paper were soon apparent to local Architects and Designers and demand has increased to such that it is now found in use throughout the industry. Other papers in the range are the tinted yellow appearance of Yellowtrace ® product and the "honey" tinted Ambertrace. While the whole world uses computers to produce final drawings it is evident that a great deal of initial design is hand sketched.
