I am just starting to explore Zentangles. Would this paper hold up to the Sakura pigma micron pens that are used? thanks in advance!

Yes! This is the exact brand of pen that I use for this sketch book, and it's perfect! :o)

It is strange that the Sharpie is smearing. Are you using a traditional, alcohol based Sharpie? Are you letting it dry before touching it? Are you trying to apply something over it? You might consider the Sakura Identi-Pen as an alternative. We have had good luck using it on this film.

The Infiniter I bought was given as a Christmas gift. I contacted the gift recipient and he says his is still working. I think you might have to take it to a pen store and compare (maybe try) different brands. Where I live there aren't a lot of pen stores (about 3) but maybe a stationery store will have the same thing.

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock. This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

My friend told me he's not satisfied. He uses it for Typewriter, and it says it's usable multiple times, but he says, it is not. He prefers Carbon Paper from another brand, that's called Nu-Kote. Hope that helps.

I recommend this paper very much.... however You might want to test various inks for being"permanent' thus lasting longer. I'm not familiar with Copic Markers.

I get the frustration of putting time and effort on something only to have it be ruined.When I bought the pigma microns I thought they would work with alcohol markers like copics but they would bleed no matter how long I let them dry and ruin my drawings. Pigma microns weren't made for alcohol based markers at all,while the multiliners were specifically made for copic markers which are alcohol based. If you want a set of pens that wont bleed like pigma microns then get these. they work fine with copics or other alcohol markers.

I am rough on pens and have not had any problems. I did notice recently when I used a color than I don't use a lot that it didn't flow as well. Like maybe it was trying to dry up but all in all I use them over mixed media and they are holding up well so far.

Joel, I use the Paper Mate Flair pens to grade math papers. In that limited application, it does not smear or leak through the paper. However, I do not use it for taking notes, writing long letters or anything that could/might get wet and possibly run/smear. Most of my fellow instructors prefer ink for written assignments or tests. I do find that the lighter colors are practically useless and tend to use only dark/bright colors

Not sure exactly what you mean. The package says you can use for zentangle and if you were drawing intricate details sure. The point is super fine but flows/writes smoothly.

I'm sorry, I don't really know. I bought these to use for Zentangles. Since they are fairly thick I think it would be worth your while to try them out b/c they are so inexpensive.

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.

Good morning. That's a good question; I did a little experimenting on my own for that very reason. I found that it depends in part on what kind of paper you're writing on. Obviously, cheaper paper with more "bleed-thru" will make the pen strokes look on the broader side. When I use these pens on slightly pricier parchment paper (that Strathmore stuff they sell at Hobby Lobby, to be specific...$7.99 for a package of 50 sheets) they work *great*, and the fine-nib pens are almost "too fine", if that makes any sense. When I realized all my Jinhao pens were equipped with M nibs I ordered a couple of fine-nib pens to experiment with for the same reason you're seeing, and found that for purely artistic reasons the M nibs were more to my liking I guess. Fine nibs are great for office use, but if you're writing letters, party invitations, writing in a journal (presumably a nice one with good paper), I'd stick with the Medium nibs. Sorry...to answer your actual question, I'd say these pens tend a bit more to the broad side of M. I hope this helps! :-) John in Arkansas

The waxed paper and tin foil hold nicely. The mega paper is too large. We keep in out and take off sheets for a few days until it fits well.

In my experience, the paper does not leave smudges on other parts of the paper. Water colors do cover the Saran lines on the paper. I had used another transfer paper and it contained some sort of wax which the water color did not cover. Saran was recommended to me by my water color teacher.

No, it doesn't hold very well. I would stick with the binding combs to be honest. This hasn't worked well to bind even 20 pages together for us. Pretty disappointing.
