Bleedproof Winsor & Newton 160gr marker pad

• This type of paper is specifically designed to resist ink saturation from alcohol-based markers and to allow multiple layers without ink bleed-through or mixing.

  The main characteristics of this type of paper are as follows:

  1. High grammage: Grammage refers to the weight of the paper per unit area. For artwork with alcohol-based markers, a high grammage paper is recommended, generally 150 grams per square meter (g/m²) or more. A high grammage ensures that the paper is thick and strong enough to withstand ink and layered work.

  2. Bleed-proof: Bleed-proof paper has a specially coated surface that prevents ink from markers from spreading or absorbing too much into the paper fibers. This ensures that lines and colors stay sharp and do not smear excessively.

  3. Optimal performance for alcohol-based markers: Alcohol-based markers usually contain more fluid inks and intense pigments. The right paper for these markers should allow for smooth, even application of the ink, without quickly soaking through or leaving unwanted marks.

  4. Multi-layer ink capability: A good marker paper should allow overlapping layers of ink without the first layer mixing or dissolving. This is especially important in artwork where more complex gradients, shading and details are sought.

  5. Acid-free: Acid-free paper is essential for quality artwork, as acid can deteriorate and yellow the paper over time. Acid-free paper has a neutral or slightly alkaline pH, ensuring long-term durability.

  When choosing paper for alcohol-based marker artwork, it is advisable to look for products specifically labeled "marker paper" or "fine art paper" that meet the above characteristics.
