Is there a favorite type of paper for these? Watercolor paper? Cold or hot pressed?

Well, they actually work on any kind of paper. but they are excellent on every watercolor paper

I'm using wove paper, cause it's smooth and markers are applying really great on it

I am not a professional artist. I used a drawing or watercolor paper just for the thickness. I haven't used them for watercoloring yet but I would probably use watercolor paper for that. I don't know what cold or hot pressed is but I will say I also use these to color mandalas with...like from a coloring book and they work great for that as well. They are so smooth that the color just glides on and fills in easily. I love them.

Tombows work good on Canson XL Media journals, 98 lb. Any watercolor paper works good too.

Yes, they print very well. The colors are very true. I have used other brands and other papers and have not had the success that I have with Avery Matte White Half Fold Greeting Cards #8316. I use a very old program, PrintMaster 12 to print my cards. I have used it for years and have not up-graded it. I sell my Greeting cards so I want them to look very professional. This is the best paper I have used.

I'm using Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink. Writes great, very clear and smooth lines (with the right paper of course, I'm writing in a Piccadilly journal). Any bottled ink/ink cartridges will work. More economical to use bottled ink, and doesn't have to be messy if you're careful.

They work well on watercolor paper. I think they would work on any paper. The ink runs smooth as silk. I love these pens and plan to order the Galaxy set as well.

Hello Toni,Well I used such as stickers but for a painted wall could be but I not sure about the quality of the paper and after a long time depends of the inks that you use could lost a little of color, but at the end is a good paper. Is just maybe to try with something small and then see what happen.

I have used acrylics, very watered down acrylics, and alcohol inks on these canvases and all have worked very well. For the price, they are excellent for practicing. Although I have not used watercolors myself, I would say they would be suitable.

Oh yes, in fact this is my favorite type of paper to use with acrylics. I did need to let the paint dry and then place heavy books on the cards to train them flat, otherwise you'll get some curling. But these are good quality and can handle any paint.

Yes....and the quality is amazing. I used them as the base for my photo Christmas cards last year and am attempting an attached hand painted watercolor this year. They are sturdy for mailing/shipping, as well. You won't be disappointed!

Hey there. I haven't done cardstock but I do frequently print on heavy watercolor paper without any issues. I also know that the printer allows you to select cardstock as the paper type.

Yes, I put them in warm water to get the papers off easily. They can be melted in the oven or microwave. If you let them set up after melting the wax will rise to the top. I made letters in a mold, so when I turned them out they looked great.

Use Strathmore Stamping cards to mount my pictures since I like the paper wt and quality. Tried Avery for slightly larger size. Liked quality & weight of paper. Each sheet gives you 2 cards. Crisp clean lines and set folds makes for easy use. Card stock quality. Good luck. Marie :)

The patterns are nice and are colorfast. The paper is thin so you would need to make sure you don't get air bubbles underneath. Otherwise the papers would be fine to use.

I use the higher grade of printer paper due to the fact that it prints colors better. Many people also print bi-fold cards but I have found that quarter fold works very well and is cheaper to mail.

Yes, they print great for matte finish, I wish they had a gloss finish for a more professional look. I use thse all the time to make greeting cards

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

My go to ink for being "bullet proof" against water or any other mayhem is Noodler's. Noodler's 54th Massachusetts for BLUE or Noodler's Black. Hope that helps.

I didn't have ink last year, so I used tempera cakes and sponge brushes. It was messy, but we got cool vintage-y colored prints. I also had them do several practice prints on newsprint so they could get the feel of the water to paint ratio needed.
