what is the quality of the paper? is it smooth, or grainy? thick or thin? would micron/sharpie pens bleed through?

Smooth paper. Thicker than computer paper, not as thick as drawing paper like bristol. A micron or sharpie probably won't bleed through if you're writing or lightly sketching, but might if you're doing heavy ink drawings.

The paper is very thick. A standard ballpoint pen will not suffice to mark them. A sharpie / marker will not go through them. The paper is of very high quality, but will require a fountain pen or a robust ballpoint to write in it.Hope this helps.

It will do fine with sharpies. I use mixed medium, primarily watercolors, and the paper holds up well with water. The book has more pages than other journals I've had. The cover is very sturdy. I'm pleased with this item.

To me it is exceptionally smooth. It's not scratchy like other pens I've used.

I use gel pens and they dont bleed through the pages... the paper is a good thickness. Pages are meant to stay put and heavily bound, this is not the type of notebook you can tear pages out of.

Yes, I would say it is smooth and glossy. Not shiny or anything, but definitely not a matte finish like on plain kraft paper.

As far as I have found out it really all depends on the paper. I used them on watercolor card stock and bamboo paper to do some art and they did not bleed through. Now I used them in a journal that I'm doing and they DID bleed through. They are very nice to use and they write and color really smoothly I would suggest that you try it on a corner of the paper on somewhere where its not noticble I really hope that this answers your question and that if you get them you enjoy them as much as I do. (I also really like using colored pencils too)

I use these pens for Architectural drafting and renderings. I haven't had a issue with them bleeding on trace paper, vellum, or 20lb printer paper.

The paper seems pretty thick and I haven't had any pencil bleeding through so far but I have only used a regular pencil

I haven't experienced any smearing on regular paper or matte card stock. They don't bleed, but you can see it through the other side of thin paper.

It doesn't bleed through paper. But they don't write very consistently. I'd be in the middle of writing and the ink would stop coming out. This happened more with certain colors than others. But i really like the shimmer of the ink, so i still write with them. Just not for work or anything important.

Fountain pens are based on liquid ink, so they bleed a good amount on really cheap paper. I tried Lamy blue on cheap paper, and it's a surprisingly stable ink. If you're really worried about bleedthrough, get a Z24 converter and a bottle or Noodler's Black. Noodler's Black is an ink designed to write on really bad paper, even on newsprint. It's also "bulletproof", so it was designed to be permanent. Perfect for writing checks.I'm not really sure if slow writing would make a fountain pen "messy". Just don't press too hard on the nib, and you'll be fine.

I have the c3180 and had no problems with ink smearing. The transparency paper has one side that feels smooth and the other side is slightly rough. I laud out my designs to dry, just in case but was very rough after that. I used them for a home screen-printing machine.

It has a little grainy feel- not bad----I use mine for a Christmas village so no problem. Don't know about the texture for sure--but don't think it will bounce a pen.

The pens writer really smoothly and don't bleed through regular paper. The Sharpie ultra fine markers produce bold permanent color with a fine writing tip. They will bleed through standard paper.

It is smooth. Not as smooth as glass, but smooth enough that there is no problem writing on a single sheet of paper without backing and still have good penmanship.

For really wet broad nibs, there may occasionally be some ghosting but no bleed through. I only use fountain pens and use a variety. This is the book that I use for my journal and I have been well pleased.
