I takes a while but I take the back of my seam ripper, or a plastic knife and score the lines it helps in the chore, I also use paper form the dollar tree, in the kids section with coloring books it a pad, for drawing....I have to cut it down a bit for my printer, but with a paper cuter used for scrap booking it doesn't take long and for $1.00 you get 80 pages....I use to order my paper off the internet...but run across this when I was getting some art supplies for my grandson.....I love it and it's easy to tear off....and as always it's cheap...
