We've only used them on regular drawing cartridge but I imagine they would work beautifully on any kind of paper. They are rich and soft and glide on perfectly.

I use Sheaffer. Any of the inks other writers have suggested are excellent for your pen.

A friend is an artist, she has used & recommended these as a gift for my adult daughter who has a Mandala book that she is coloring with Prismacolors she raves about them. I want my own.

These are paper. So you can use pencil, ink pen, sharpie marker, or a crayon if you'd like :)They are not shiny or have a difficult surface with which to work.

Amazon.com is a trusted place to make purchases and as for buying prismacolor pencils, they are a great artist quality pencil and I found them to be priced well here at Amazon. I love them and would not consider using any other brand.

The color is too rich/saturated and the core too much like butter to erase. Consider the col-erase line from Prismacolor for more erasable pencils. The color's not as rich/saturated in those, though.

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.

My 9 year old says colored pencils are best. Markers aren't a good choice bc there are mosaics on both sides of the paper. I have seen him using crayons and they're a little harder to fill the squares accurately.

I would use contact paper if you do not want the lines to bleed. I use contact paper for stencils and the are crisp and sharp.

Hugh I usually use High Gloss paper if you never tried Soft Gloss it is something you might want to try. I like the result of soft Gloss and the next time I order paper I am going to buy the Soft Gloss. They are both good and you may prefer one over the other so I would give them a try, Joe

Dixon Ticonderogas are pretty good. I buy them for my kids. They are the minimum quality pencil I will use if I have a choice. But I always reach for my Generals first and I save them for me since they do cost more and my kids do not appreciate the aesthetic pleasures of writing with a top quality pencil. I say Dixons are fine for the kids, but get Generals for yourself. Especially if you do extensive writing/note taking in pencil. Worth every penny. And General's is not paying me. (But if they're listening I wouldn't turn down a free box thrown my way. Hint.)

Pencils work best; some pens won't work as well. I'm not sure whether some inks would run if wet.

I typically use pencil when I write in these books, it works the best. I find most ball point pens with thicker ink (most cheap ball points) work well too. Thinner watery ink will bead up and not write.

I just use recommended paper, sorry. Maybe Canon web site or their "contact" people can answer.

These pencils can be used on any kind of paper you want to use. Just be aware that if you're not using watercolor paper, you will have to be careful not to saturate the paper with too much water or it will start to buckle and curl. As long as they don't come into contact with water, they will look pretty much like a normal colored pencil. Water "activates" them, and you can either color onto paper and then add water using a paintbrush, or you can take the paintbrush directly to the tip of the colored pencil and pick up color that way.

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.

Definitely colored pencils over crayons. Fine markers may work too. I like pencils but keep a sharpener handy to keep a pointed tip. Have fun!
