would they bleed through thin paper, such as bible paper?

I tested on copy paper - used dry, they would not bleed through, but you can see it from the other side. If used with water, they would bleed through.

No, that is exactly what my entire family and I love about these pens: they can fit sentences into the margins of a Bible and they do not bleed even through thinline paper!

The darker colors tend to bleed through thin paper (purple, blue, turquoise) but the lighter colors don't really (pink, green, orange). I have not had a problem with yellow bleeding thru.

Yes, most alcohol markers will bleed through the paper unless you are using something extra thick. They would not be good for a standard coloring book with pictures on both sides of the page. You will have better luck with something water-based.

I don't see why not. We used Sharpie markers with cardboard inside so it wouldn't bleed through. Paint would also bleed through.

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)

Yes they do bleed through. However, if you photocopied the picture you could keep the coloring book and still use the markers. I really like themand they are an excellent value for what you get. They open into three compartments and fold back into one. You have 36 colors to choose from.I don't know anywhere else you can get a deal like this.

I have not had issues with bleeding. Though very thin or cheap paper may have some issues, as you would expect.

They are about as thick as cardstock, maybe a little thicker. I would say they are thick enough. Thicker than the cheap papers.

I didn't notice any bleed-through. We used these markers at my daughter's baby shower to decorate white cotton onesies and i didn't see any that bled through. However, it doesn't hurt to put the cardboard or paper in between the material as suggested by the other answers just in case. Either way, the markers worked great and my neighbor is now using them for her friend's baby shower. They really lasted! Enjoy!

While I haven't tried them on black paper, I don't think they would work well. The ink is not opaque enough to stand out that much.

No, it would not be too thick. In fact it would be ideal for such an application. The paper is thick enough and it is perfectly opaque so that the colors, etc. willnot bleed through. I use it to make greeting cards and it is MARVELOUS for that application as well.

Maybe, I don't see it doing well. I would guess it would bleed through and tear the paper.

No, they don't. I tried them on several different types of paper and they didn't bleed.

They don't bleed completely thru, but you can see the writing on the other side more than you could with a ball point pen. (I write a lot in composition notebooks. Similar paper)

I wouldn't say that they bleed, especially if you only highlight with a single pass, but the darker colors can be seen a bit from the other side of very thin paper, like one might find in a Bible. It's not enough to stop me from using them. Far better than other highlighters, except for the waxy kind, which I really don't like.

No! Don't buy these thinking they will have a thin line. The ink bleeds on paper and leaves a broad line that, in my mind, does not qualify as fine.
