X-Press It Blending Card Paper - 25 Sheets | Premium Ultra Smooth, Bright White, Acid-Free Cardstock for Professional Stamping, Cardmaking, Scrapbooking, and Crafting | (8.5 x 11 Inches)

I bought this paper to use with my new (expensive) Copic markers. Admittedly, I should have read more reviews and watched more YouTube videos before investing in both items for making greeting cards. Although probably not an issue for most people, I find this paper has a strong smell (that gives me a headache). I have to air it out before using it with coloured pencils or less expensive markers that don't bleed as much. If I were using this for artwork other than for greeting cards, I would be more pleased with it. The surface is very smooth and ideal for markers.

Wer Copics hatte, sollte sich auch dieses Papier gönnen. Die Stifte lassen sich hier erst richtig arbeiten .Einziger Wehmutstropfen ist das ungeläufige Format ( etwas kleiner als A4 - bitte bringt es in A4 raus)

At this price I thought they were selling me the 125 sheet pack and didn’t notice it was the 25 sheet pack. Expensive. Works well though.

As a hobby artist that uses Alcohol markers I have been eager to try this paper. I think it is comparable to the drawing pad Copic makes.

I bought this paper specifically for making copies of coloring pages for use with my Pentel brand gel pens - their Krazy line, Sparkle line, Matte line, and Hybrid Metallic lines. Normal coloring books are fine, but do have a tendency to bleed through with a few of the gel pens. The surface is quite slick and the pens work well. No ghosting or bleeding. Also, my coloring pencils are buttery smooth over the paper and my fountain pen ink glides over as well and shows true colors as this paper is a nice and clean white not ecru/cream/beige but white so this is a huge plus. Yes, the paper is expensive just for coloring, but I wanted to try new paper. Would I buy this again? Perhaps, IF I cannot find a similar paper that holds ink as well as this does.
