Paris Paper For Pens 9X12

Great quality paper, doesn't bleed through

My pad of paper arrived damaged, 15 pages are unusable.

After trying several different marker papers from different companies I gave this one a go. It is now my go to paper for illustrations. I have used pen and ink on this as well as alcohol markers. Both work very well. No feathering of the markers or ink. There is a little bleed thru if you are working the same area over and over. Otherwise this paper holds up incredibly well. Smooth blending with markers is what truly sold me on this paper. My very first sketch pad back in 1990 was Borden and Riley and I have always found my way back because their products are of great quality.

The paper does not lay flat. The entire pad of paper has waves in it and must be a 2nd. I can’t use it for my client work. Not worth my time to return so I will use it for practice and not order it from here again.

This paper is excellent for doing drawing with fountain pens. Very thick so zero bleed-through, very smooth so no problem with fibers clogging my nibs, and extremely microscopic minimal feathering if feathering even ever happens (depends on the ink). I wish it were a bit smoother/less absorbent to allow for more sheen to come through, but you'll still see quite a lot of shimmer when an ink has that like with J. Herbin Stormy Grey. Overall love this paper very much!
