Capitol Bond 25% Cotton Practice Pad 8.5x11 inch

New at watercor painting this is a good paper Fairly priced and would definitely purchase again

I wanted to like this a lot, but the ink in my Pilot Parallel pen bleeds - this is unacceptable since I use this pen/ink every day. If you use walnut ink you’re in luck, and sumi ink works well too. Response from JNB: I grabbed a sheet after seeing this review, and did some additional testing. I can see some bleeding with the Pilot Parallel Ink. This is a “wetter” ink, so I believe that is likely why there is some bleed. For my testing, while there was some slight bleeding on the backside of the paper where more pressured was used on the letterforms, starts and downstrokes, there was no feathering, and it did not bleed into the pages below. If you would like a different pad, please reach out to customer support!

Allows for fine lines and crisp edges with a broad nib, which makes this paper worth it! Even though there's some minor bleed through, it doesn't stop me from using the back side.
