Using Desk Blotters

A desk pad or blotter is a table protector used when work such as painting or writing would otherwise damage the table or desk. Many companies like to decorate their boardroom table with a desk blotter at every space, to give a professional look and feel, while protecting the surface. It is always a good idea to customize the blotting paper with your logo.

Different desk pads have specific uses, for example Chinese calligraphy uses a blackvelour desk pad since Chinese calligraphy is written using an ink brush. Here in the West we tend to use simpler writing pads with disposable paper surfaces that can be used for writing, note taking, and scribbling. Often these pads are pre-printed with calendar pages.
