I work w Copic markers and I love them so much. However, I have found some markers don’t scan well which makes sense cause of things like highlighter yellow. If you don my know highlighters don’t scan intentionally so you can copy documents without the yellow color showing up on them scan.
RV & Y are most often the colors that don’t scan so I have made a grid of the markers I own.
RV04 & Y06 glow under black light which is cool but can mess w a piece if you are highlighting parts w black light and the yellow or pink are not the colors you want to glow.
When I was at Dick Blick’s picking up paper I wasn’t able to find my usual over sized paper. So I grabbed the Blick’s brand.
I rather like it.
Feathering (how much the ink travels sideways in the paper)- almost none. Could put down several layers of ink before it started to spread. Even with red- awesome
Bleeding (how much the ink goes through the paper)- the ink was just starting to go through the paper when I finished my art. – decent.
Texture (does the paper have a texture that may impact the piece) – This paper is completely smooth. – no texture
Overall. I like this paper. I will continue to use it. I might not use it for single sided badges because I can see it on the back and I like my badges to either be two sided or not.
Bleeding is when the ink goes through the paper. This is different from ghosting. Some papers will allow you to see the ink without it bleeding through. If I evaluate marker papers you’ll see ghosting. They almost seem more plastic than paper.
Copic marker says bleeding and ghosting are more features than negatives. If you manage to get a complete replica of the art when you flip the paper over you have saturated the paper and have the truest color that ink and paper will allow.
Heat/cold, humidity, & air flow can influence how much your ink feathers and bleeds.
