4. Maintenance
Proper storage and care will ensure the longevity of your coloring paper roll:
- Storage: Store the paper roll in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage, which can cause the paper to warp or become discolored.
- Avoid Sunlight: Keep the roll away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the paper or any pre-printed designs.
- Drying: If using wet mediums, allow the colored sections to dry completely before rolling them back up or stacking them to prevent smudging or sticking.

5. Troubleshooting
While the LUSTIGT Coloring Paper Roll is a simple product, here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Problem: Paper tears easily during use.
Solution: Ensure the surface beneath the paper is smooth and free of sharp objects. Apply gentle pressure when coloring, especially with pointed tools. - Problem: Colors bleed through the paper.
Solution: While the paper is designed for various mediums, excessive saturation with very wet watercolors or markers may cause bleed-through. Use a protective mat underneath if this is a concern.
