Review: Good supplement for tympan paper - I use this product as a topsheet for letterpress printing with a traditional platen press. Oiled tympan paper is not as commonly available as it once was, but it can still be found. What I do is place my tympan paper on the platen and lock it in, then cut a sheet of Dura-Lar to cover the printing area, taping it in place with vinyl tape. I ink up my form and run an impression directly on the Dura-Lar. Once you have the impression, you can set up "compressible gauge pins" or other adhesive-based paper guides. Once this is done, tissue paper with a little kerosene or lighter fluid will serve to remove the impression. This is accomplished much more easily than with a traditional oiled tympan topsheet as you can never seem to get all the ink off, which means that the back of your work will have a residual impression on it for a few cycles at least. Adhesives commonly used on Scotch double-sided adhesive tape and similar products typically stick to Dura-Lar much better than they do to oiled tympan as well. Dura-Lar cuts easily and lays flat. It is durable and doesn't seem to harm lead & wood type or common photopolymer plates. I have not tried to use it with traditional gauge pins, but I see no reason it would not work. If I wanted to do this for some reason, though, I would cut the Dura-Lar very close to the impression area and place my gauge pins in the tympan paper. This seems a good way to avoid smashing type and increasingly difficult-to-find gauge pins, if nothing else. If you have to, you can use the same sheet of Dura-Lar to run a second impression if the press run wasn't too long and I have done this for jobs that are not critical. Realistically though, get another sheet for subsequent press runs, it isn't very expensive and this will avoid problems, especially if the first impression was at all heavy as is common practice these days in order to get a "bite" on the paper. I am not sure what this product was designed to do, but as a pressman's topsheet, it is just about as good as it gets! Review: Cardmakers new toy - Exactly what I had expected when ordered. This product comes in several thicknesses and sizes in pads of 25. Great deal for the price and perfect for a new way to make my greeting cards, tags and albums. Had been searching for several months for somewhere to buy this product. The .005 is a little thinner than a business card so is good for layering onto a card, invitation or announcement. The .007 is the thickness of a business card and would be best for tags and albums, and I plan to order that next. I have exchanged several emails from Grafix and have enjoyed the correspondence with their customer service staff. I had questions about the various thicknesses which were answered right away and now I am clear on my needs and what to order without making a mistake. I hate it when that happens, so I prefer talking to someone first before ordering if possible. The sheets of acrylic are separated by tissue to prevent scratching and fingerprints. Storing is easy since it is a pad. I ordered 9x12 thinking it would be perfect size for cutting down for the cards and give me less waste than 8.5x11. This product would be handy to use in any craft or home project where a perfectly clear piece of acrylic is needed, such as replacing glass with something less harmful in a house with small children. I would recommend this to my friends and other crafters. I am sharing some of my purchase with another stamping friend. ## Features - DURABLE: Grafix Dura-Lar Ultra Clear Film has the best features of Mylar & Acetate.

My students draw on it with sharpies and I use a heat gun to shrink and warp it like blown glass. We create a class heart that hangs all year. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grafix Dura-Lar 0.003" Film, Ultra Clear, glossy 9"x12" sheet, Mylar/Acetate Alternative for, Blank stencils and Templates, Protection, Transparencies, Windows, Arts, Crafts, Pad of 25 Sheets - Strathmore Printmaking Paper Pad 11"X14"-15 Sheets -62433110, BROWN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://mauritius.desertcart.com/products/2347596-clear](https://mauritius.desertcart.com/products/2347596-clear) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mauritius* *Store origin: MU* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
