Chromacolour Animation Paper is the industry standard for traditional hand-drawn animation. Its main benefit is the precise "pegged" transparency and 70gsm weight, which is perfectly balanced to be thin enough for light-box "flipping" while remaining opaque enough to hold clean pencil and ink lines.
Trusted by major studios worldwide, this paper is engineered to be extremely smooth to prevent friction during rapid drawing. It is punched with standard ACME registration holes, ensuring that every frame remains in perfect alignment when placed on an animation peg bar.

Who is it For?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)
Can I use this paper for printing?
While designed for manual drawing, the 70gsm bond can be used in some printers; however, we recommend it primarily for graphite, coloured pencils (like Col-Erase), and technical ink.
How many layers can I see through this paper?
Using a professional animation light box, you can typically see through 5 to 7 layers clearly, allowing for highly accurate "in-between" frames.
Is this paper pre-punched for peg bars?
Yes, our Chromacolour stock is typically pre-punched with the industry-standard Acme registration holes, though unpunched versions are also available.
