Can a regular pen be used on this paper? What works best with drawing and writing with this type of paper?

A regular pen would work, but you'd need to be careful not to press too hard and rip the paper, it's very brittle. I've used it with students for years and the best thing is markers. I've used sharpies (which bleed through) and Crayola markers. If you're making something you want to last, I would also recommend laminating it.

You don't have to use just pens. Colored pencils and markers work well as long as the point can fit in the hole.

I use a ball point pen that is out of ink...I would think any kind of a stylus that would not cut the paper would work..

Yes, you can even use a standard ball point pen. However, the sharper the point or the harder you press, a deeper impression is left. So, if you don't press too hard with the pencil, you can even erase your errors without leaving an impression. A ball point pen can make very deep impression and "stretch" the material, unless you press lightly and use something hard to press on.

Yes. There is an app called pen memo which allows drawing. You can also draw in the eBook app. There may be other ways also -- specialized app?

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

yes,you can use the Sharpie pen to do this (not the ones with a felt-like tip, unless you want to), and it's a big piece of wood. These are available in push button fine point model which would certainly work, if (and here's the big if) everyone has a small size signature, or, it's a small wedding. Either of these pens would work providing the wood is unfinished, and no one tries to correct their writing, as these are both very permanent

Yes. I use a color copier to print on it, and we have written on it with pen and marker. It is amazing paper.

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.

Because the stylus tip is broad it's not good for precision drawing/writing. When I want to write/draw with precision I use a Musemee Notier which has a clear disc tip so you can see the point of drawing. But the Notier doesn't have a ballpoint pen in it which is why I own both. I mostly use this stylus/pen for my iPhone and the Notier for my iPad.

I have used this pen on newsprint, sketching pad paper and drawing pad paper and never had any problems with it. I purchased a whole box because I was that happy with the one pen that I had gotten.

Sure! Your pen needs to have ink flow stimulated by some form of "suction". The easiest and gentlest method I've found is to ball up a kleenex and run it very gently with the smooth side of the nib. Just gently "wipe" the nib in a downward motion until you see ink in the kleenex. Then try to gently "write" on the kleenex with the pen. If you get no lines, just keep the gentle downward wipe with the nib and you'll soon get it. Whatever you do, don't use "writing" on paper as a way of making the pen have flow. It's not a ballpoint! You'll wear down your nib which needs inky lubrication to perform well.

You can use charcoal. Or anything. It works pretty nicely. Though it may smear on to another page. It won't bleed through.

YES most definitely and in my opinion works better, but do not use permanent with the paper!

Yes you can. Just be careful when you sand around the edges of the paper. It's a rubber pad so the paper will stick and peal with no problem.

I don't believe it can be used that way. It does have a pointer, but since I've only used it once last January for a presentation, I don't remember all the features. I don't recall reading any instructions with it that talks about it being used as a pen.

This paper takes pen or pencil well. It is designed for use in laser printers rather than inkjets.
