Copic Marker X-Press Blending Card 8.5 x 11-inch 25/Pkg-White, Other, Multicoloured, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

This is good quality card and is really great for use with alcohol markers, they blend very well on it and without any bleeding provided you don't over saturate on it. If you are in the UK be aware the card is NOT A4 size, it is slightly smaller, not a major issue but useful to keep in mind. I have given it four out of five stars because although it is good quality and arguably the best card to use for alcohol markers I feel it is horrendously over priced for what it is. The price actually puts me off using it and I often use a cheaper brand just because I don't want to use my stack of this card up, I feel I need to save it for the most special projects I do. To be perfectly honest the only reason I bought it is because it is what Alyce at Kit and Clowder swears by and every time I had blending issues she advised me to use this, otherwise because of the price I wouldn't have bought it at all...

Last month I bought 10 different brands of white card stock (A4 size).I stamped a sheet of each brand with 10 different images (I was testing card for use with my copic markers rather than testing different brands of alcohol pens on one brand of cardstock). I used the same colour ink on the images on each sheet.This cardstock came in the top two of all the brands. The other card was House of Cards A4 300gsm! These two were even better than the DIN A4 pad of thin 70gsm paper that I was recommended to use as it was especially for copics!

This paper is considered the best for Copics as it doesn't bleed and blends easy. However for me it isn't working, it is bleeding threw and is not blending well at all. I have tried using both sides to check if I am using it wrong, I have watched videos online and everything but i clearly have a different paper than I should. Would not recommend.

We used copic markers on this paper and bleeds right through ruining anything underneath.Description says selected for use with copic markers also paper came damaged.AVOID

Says on the photo specially selected for COPIC markers, when it arrived the packet said ALCOHOL markers so could really mean any, blends okay for the first layer, however adding more layers honestly just makes it patchy, definitely not worth 25 pounds at all, waste of money. If you're looking to blend copic markers then I would advise strathmore vellum paper, always used it before and thought this would be better but definitely not the case.
