Yupo Polypropylene Roll 60Inch X 10Yds by Legion Paper

This stuff is awesome! I'm using Turner Acryl Gouache on it and it's a dream to work with. It takes the paint amazingly, no beading. It doesn't buckle like paper would when using wet media and the surface texture is super fine like a fine panel or clay board. Paint takes a little longer to dry because there are not any fibers to absorb water. Because it has no fibers, I'm finding I'm using a lot less paint which is a plus! The surface has an almost vellum quality too it without the hassle of actually working on vellum. The fine surface texture allows for really fine detail work as well. The closest thing I can think of that resembles the working properties of Yupo is painting on diebond with a really nice fine gesso on it- with the Yupo being cheaper, no need to prime, you can cut it with scissors or a blade instead of a saw, and you don't run the risk of cutting yourself on it like the aluminum edge of diebond. The packaging for the roll was really impressive as well. It's on a thick cardboard tube with a thick plastic sheath around it and end caps that you can use to wrap it back up when you're finished cutting your piece. This is sort of a miracle ground for acrylic painters and I'm really happy I took the leap and bought a roll of it blind. Awesome stuff!

I like the $$ savings by buying the roll, but it is very difficult to maneuver and cut. I thought I'd be able to measure and cut from a nice straight edge but mine came with a very ragged and uneven edge. There was some product waste trying to get the edge even before I could even begin to cut pieces out for painting.

Very smooth and fun to paint on. I also would like to praise Jerry's Artarama, who sell Yupo and other art supplies through Amazon. Their customer service is great.

I needed 10yds as advertised. One roll was cut 13” short and the other roll was cut 3” short. Plus both rolls had a ragged edge. As this was installed in a Gallery-the size was super important! Please know this when ordering!

I am a professional artist, and I use this paper all the time. It is amazing and very unique. Since this paper is plastic, and absorbs ink or paint very slowly, you can do things with it that you cannot do with other types of paper. Try it!

I love their Yupo sheets, so I decided to buy a roll. However, no matter what I try, I can’t get the paper to lay flat. Skip the roll and buy the flat sheets.

Much cheaper than buying individual sheets or pads and you can easily cut to any size.
