Oslo Paper: Writing Paper, Not Drawing Material

Oslo paper is not a drawing material.

It is a high-quality woodfree printing/writing paper—typically 70–100 gsm, bright white, smooth finish—used for:

• Office documents (letters, reports, forms)
• Books, manuals, catalogs
• High-volume laser/inkjet printing
• Stationery, letterheads

Drawing Papers Are Different

Art papers have specific surfaces (tooth, sizing, weight) for media:

• Sketch: Light texture, 50–80 gsm.
• Drawing/Cartridge: Medium tooth, 120–200 gsm.
• Watercolor: Heavy (300 gsm+), internal/external sizing.
• Bristol/Bristol Board: Smooth/vellum, 200–400 gsm, multi-ply.
• Pastel/Charcoal: Pronounced tooth, colored grounds.

Oslo paper lacks the tooth, weight, and sizing for drawing media. It's for printing words, not making marks.
