Excellent paper for markers

I drew a lot with markers. I've tried several different markers on this paper (Copic, Prismacolor, Sharpies, Sakura and a few others), not only does this paper not show through the markers, but the markers dry very well and the paper is very stretchy. smudge after the marking ink dries. The other thing that's really cool about this paper is that I apply thick layers of marker while slowly painting in detailed areas, and no matter how much I applied, it didn't go to the other side when you turned the paper over. It's all white so I think this paper can be used double sided which I might try in the future just to see. All in all, while it's a great paper, I know what it says for pens and ink, I assume this paper was originally made for calligraphy, but let me tell you, if you're drawing with markers, I highly recommend this paper, I think it's far superior and cheaper to other papers designed specifically for markers, so it's the only paper I use more for markers.

Pros
  • Ideal for calligraphy and all fine line work with pen and ink
Cons
  • No instructions
