Woodcraft Patterns Carbon Transfer Paper (24" x 48" sheets) - The Winfield Collection

I have been using this product for more than two weeks now. In that time, I've had an opportunity to evaluate both the quality of the product and the overall usability. In creating this review I've considered both the type of material used in making the product as well as the overall fit and finish. I've also considered how well the product meets my needs and whether there are any shortcomings or particular advantages in using this product. For this particular product, the type of material used in the manufacture and creation of the product seems to be of very good quality. One must consider that for any product of this type there is a balance between the type of material used and the cost that is to be passed on to the consumer. I think for this product that balance has been met fairly well and I believe that the product will meet the expectations of most buyers. With regard to the fit and finish of this particular product, I believe it to be about average for the products of similar make or style. That is to say that it is not of poor or moderate craftsmanship/finish nor is it something that I would rate as outstanding. The quality of the piece is such that I feel it is a good value for the money. Finally, as with many products of this type, the value that a consumer sees is dependent on the expectation. When I ordered this product my expectations were moderate, especially because of the price. In an age where we demand low price but often want high quality, it is often best if we expect moderate to good quality instead. I did that with this product as was pleasantly surprised to find that the quality was at least good, if not just a tad bit better than good. For that reason, and those set out above, I'd make a recommendation to buy this product.

I used it to trace a pattern to plywood for a Christmas Nativity project and it worked perfectly. I used a carpenters pencil and had no problem tracing the pattern. Would buy it again if needed but it came with plenty of sheets that can be reused.

These large carbon paper transfer sheets are just what we need to transfer patterns onto large styrofoam blocks prior to carving. The master patterns are drawn on 4 mil plastic sheets. Just insert the carbon transfer paper between the styrofoam and the plastic sheet and trace over the master with the back end of a sharpie marker. Each transfer sheet is good for many tracings.

I was making a large sign and wanted to cut the letters on my band saw from 1" material. MY thought was to print the letters full size (5.5" height) then trace them onto the wood. After receiving the carbon paper and as I started to trace I noticed a spray can of adhesive. It was so much easier to simple lightly spray the back of the paper, put it on the wood and then cut. Much less effort and eliminated my shaky tracing. Maybe I will have a use for this later on another project.

Pieces are great size

I really like this product. I cannot draw so I use carbon paper to get my picture or parts of my picture on the canvas to paint. I am working on a very large painting and using regular sized carbon would be a pain. I was pleased that this size is available. It took 2 sheets to do a 4x3 canvas but it worked. Plus for some reason I thought it was one sheet and several came. Very helpful. It was also packaged well. And they were prompt.

Great for large projects. I had to transfer a complex repeating pattern on a wall (part of an old mural survived... most of it didn't and needed to be reproduced). I was a little worried the image on the other side of the carbon paper would be too faint, but it was just fine.

Great transfer paper that can be used over and over to mark up cloth or wood to cut away everything that doesn't look like what you want to make. Useful on smooth and slightly rough surfaces. I use a small tracing tool, but a pencil will also work - it may leave a wider marking line, be careful. There is so much paper in this package that you can cut off a piece and throw it away after one use, if you so desire. I fold it up and stuff it back in the zip-lock bag. A good buy.
