Bianyo Bleedproof Marker Paper Pad, A4(8.27"X11.69"), 50 Sheets, 18 LB / 70 GSM, Glue-Bound, 100% Cotton, White, Ideal for Use with Markers and Ink Mediums

I bought this because I draw frequently with alcohol markers, and this is already my third purchase. The paper is very thin, so you need to handle it carefully. However, the marker ink doesn’t bleed through to the back, and it works really well for my drawings. I’ll definitely purchase it again!

Inks may not bleed through with this paper, however the paper is so thin it might as well. The effect is the same. You cannot use it for two side printing using inks or stamp pads. Hold the paper up to the light and you cannot tell which side was inked. Waste of money of you are looking for a paper that you can print, ink or stamp on both sides without seeing the obverse through the paper. also alcohol inks are almost uncontrollable when applied to this paper. They run much worse than regular paper.

I was looking for marker pad, specifically. I used to use very expensive thick Bristol plate for markers- I still do sometimes, for finished works, or cards... But but the bristol plate is very thick and it sucks all the ink out of the pens, and it bleeds. (I usually use alcohol based pens, pigma micon, and alcohol or water based colored markers.) This pad- I worried it was maybe 'plastic coated' or hand some texture on the back. But it feels like a decent weight premium brand copy paper and -no 'plastic' etc coating that you can see. But I tried my best to get the paper to bleed under somewhat more soaking and strenuous conditions and it didn't shred or rip going over it, the color was a nice saturation but the paper was not itself 'saturated' it didn't shred while going over it with the markers, and try though I did to get it to bleed through, it didn't. At a decent price, and thickness that isn't so 'super-premium' that it sucks up my markers and dries them out faster, and enough sheets in the pad (unlike say, bristol plate, or thick toothy all purpose art paper) that you're getting a nice pad of paper, not just buying expensive paper in a pad with so few pages, you're essentially just buying by the sheet. This is priced decently, it doesn't bleed through, and you get enough paper per pad that you can experiment and doodle, you don't have to conserve it exclusively for cards, or other full finished works. It's really helped me open up my creativity knowing it bleed or soak - but still I can create, experiment, with a decent marker paper. I recommend this- I will be back to buy more!

I made a mistake of purchasing this without meticulously analyzing the reviews. The overall paper is thin, tears very easily, does bleed through, and it’s difficult to work on. For what the price I am paying for, the quality is no where near artist grade. I do not recommend for markers.

There are better options out there. Would rather use almost anything else.
