Crafter's CompanionSpectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock, 8.5 by 11-Inch, White, 50-Pack

I use both Spectrum Noir markers as well as Copics, But only use this Ultra smooth card stock for all my alcohol marker coloring . It helps me blend effortlessly.I ordered it only from Amazon ( and many times) always comes quickly and with out any damage.

If you're looking for paper to use alcohol markers on, look elsewhere. It absorbs the ink too fast. Large areas are streaky. It's impossible to blend light colors, because you have to do at least four layers to get the blend right. Light skin tones, yellows, light blues, etc blends are not an option.

I normally use Neenah Solor Smooth paper, but it is expensive so I decided to give this a try. I am very pleased with the purchase. It takes alcohol markers very well. Blending is easy. I tested Copics & Spectrum Noir markers. While it is not as smooth as Neenah it is very similar. It does seem to take a bit more ink but for the price you can't beat it. I will save my Neenah paper for important art & use this for my coloring.

I bought this after trying Cooic brand alcohol marker sheets. I do use Spectrum markers. This paper is sooooo much better than Copic. I've had very little bleed through, hardly any running of ink, paper allows for smooth application, and colors apply vibrantly. The thickness if paper is also what I prefer (think index cards card stock). I will be using this paper again. I did knock off one star because package was opened on one entire side allow for the papers to get dirty/crumpled...based in the way it was packaged, I believe it was shipped in that condition.

I got a 10 pack free with I purchased the 72 set of Spectrum Noir markers and I was so so happy when the way this paper helps blend the ink of the markers. It has a nice soft texture, and doesn't seem to soak up a lot of ink. I use it with copics and prismacolor markers and they all work wonderfully with this paper.

I bought these because I just bought a big set of Spectrum Noir alcohol markers that included only 5 sheets of these. I am a lefty, and was worried I would smudge the ink on the paper, but this paper is perfect for alcohol markers. It doesn't suck all the ink right away the way some cardstock do, and allows enough time to blend the colors. I was able to make cute greeting cards using these.

This is my very favorite cardstock for using with my alcohol markers. It has a decent weight to it and it works perfectly in conjunction with my markers.

This is good cardstock, but I did not find that it blends any better than Bristol. I bought Spectrum Noir markers so I got this cardstock. Not sure I'd continue to order it. BTW, the multi-packs of Spectrum Noir markers do not always blend well. I'd consider individual purchases. I had to purchase individuals to "fill in" the gaps in the multi-packs.

Good for markers but the bleed through was disappointing.

very smooth paper, lovely results with alcohol markers, colours blend well together, to get a great result, i would recomend

A+
