Strathmore Assorted Color Pastel Paper Pad 18x24 – 24 Sheets vs Uart Sanded Pastel Art Paper, Off-White, 9" x 12"
Overall winner: Uart Sanded Pastel Art Paper, Off-White, 9" x 12"
Key Differences
Strathmore (A) is a glue-bound 18x24 pad with textured 80 lb (118 gsm) sheets and a lower listed price tier, making it a more affordable large-format option. Uart (B) is a sanded, PH-neutral/off-white sheet designed to hold many layers of color (better longevity for heavy layering) but comes in smaller 9x12 packs and reviewers note curling concerns
