This is excellent paper for calligraphy- I am so happy now I have 2 favorites- this one and Strathmore 400 for my studying of beautiful lettering. It takes ink so nicely even with such inexperienced beginner like me.
It is very smooth and it needs more time to dry but this is not a problem for me. It is semi-transparent and any line guide placed underneath is seen clearly for better writing. I tried dip pen with different pointed nibs, lamy calligraphy fountain pen, pilot parallel plate nib pen- all write perfectly on this paper- with crisp lines, no feathering. My letters look much better, so much that I'm surprised and proud of my mini-progress. Great american product!!

We are designing comic book covers as an art class project and they really POP on this paper!

This was my first time buying this product, and I wasn't disappointed. The pricing was good, and this is also my first time buying marker paper. I used the Copic Ciao Skin Tone marker set & a few Blick Studio Markers, and they didn't bleed through the paper (Probably same results with other alcoholic-based markers). One side of the paper is smooth and doesn't smear, the other side is smoother, but smears. I tested the side that smears, & once it dried it didn't smear anymore, so I think both sides are useable. I would buy this product again.

I do FUN ART for children at Fun Fairs and this time, for my block party. I weave the children's name in to a small picture. It has been so successful that many years later I have found out the parents have framed their pictures to keep on display. And I was only using Newspaper Print paper! Cason paper is durable, strong and acid free so it will last and provide enjoyment to parents for years to come.

I mostly use this as scratch paper or for quick sketches, as alcohol marker ink tends to sit on top and after going over the layers, it can lift the ink up instead. I wouldn't recommend if you're trying to blend heavily or if you have something you plan on spending a lot of time and effort on.

I just love this marker paper. I used it for calligraphy practice with all types of markers, gel pens and ink. Tombow, Zig and Pentel brush markers stand up well on this paper. I even use sumi and walnut ink with a dip pen...no bleed through and no feathering. Love it...

I gave this gift to a close friend for Christmas. He uses a lot of Copic brand sketch markers on his art, so this was the perfect present for him. He says, "It hold the marker well and doesn't bleed through the paper."

I had art markers but I never had paper pads just for markers until I get this product. I love how marker moves smoothly on the sheet and so color blending is much easy. Also no ink stain on the next page, which is nice that I don't have to remove the paper from the pad to draw.
