Comments about Borden & Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper For Pens:

I use this paper primarily for drawing/illustration, and calligraphy. I have only used dip pens with this paper and it's fantastic! I have no idea why other people think this paper is not bleedproof. I've taken Speedball Super Black India Ink to this paper, and the paper holds to the edges produced by my nibs. Calligraphy needs the definite contrasts between thick and thin lines, and this paper does not disappoint. To be a little more economical with my calligraphy practice, I do use both sides (letting the other side dry throughly!).

Comments about Borden & Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper For Pens:

The paper is very smooth and is fit for markers, but as far as using dip pens and rapidographs on it, it's really bad. This paper feathers badly with india inks. I'll go back to the paper that works the best so far, and that is Pentalic Paper for Pens.

This product is superior. I would recommend it to serious artists who do pen and ink.

For nearly 45 years I have exclusively used pens and markers for my illustrations. During this time I have only used two different papers. For about 35 years I used Bainbridge number 172 hot press illustration board.This was until I discovered Borden And Riley's Paris Bleed-Proof Paper.My colors never looked brighter and other then Copic Markers slight bleeding, Their bleed-proof trademark is solid. I use the 19x24 size and am glad that Blick now carries the larger pad...at ,of course, the lowest price.

I use this paper for most of my marker commissions. takes copics really well, as well as sakura, pitt, uni pin, and copic sp pens.I have never had any issue as far as bleeding, about the only thing that would be any sort of a drawback is how thin the paper is. that actually works best for markers though. anything thicker and you'd just be saturating the paper over and over as it absorbed the ink. overall a great paper to work with.

I'm confused by all the good reviews this paper has received.

I purchased this a while ago to use with my copics and only got to properly try it out a few nights ago. While the colours look lovely the bleed was atrocious. I was really upset, after spending hours inking a piece, to find that even a small amount of layering copic ink, it bled like crazy outside of the lines to a point beyond repair.

I would reccomend this to people only if they don't intend to put much more than linework down.

Comments about Borden & Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper For Pens:

The paper is really nice, smooth and handles ink lines well. However, when brushed with nice solid areas of black ink the paper did have a little buckle to it in those areas after it dried. Those who "paint" large black areas may want to try a paper or board that is thicker and has more weight to it.

A friend in portrait group gave me a sheet.. I used acrylic paint on it... done in a wash.. It was fantastic.. didn't buckle.. the colors remained vibrant, didn't bleed around or spread where I didn't want it to.. I got a really great painting on it. I will purchase a pad to try oil pastel on..

I've used Borden & Riley Paris Bleedproof Paper For Pens for 5+ years. I've tried many different types of paper (and I've spent a decent amount of time and money exploring all the options available) - hands down this is the best paper for drawing with pens. Works great with black and color ink (Alvin techliners and Letraset Tria markers). Also works well with pigment based inkjet printers.
