Review: Great paper l, does what it's supposed to and feels great - Thin, fabric type hand feel, flexible, and quite resistant. I got it for ink marbling (the name eludes me right now...) as recommended, and it works great. When you drop the paper on the water, it soaks up ink and liquid super fast, going translucent - initially I was worried the paper might be too saturated and tear or something, but it was perfect. It also works really well for gelli prints, and I personally prefer it than some of the other typical recommendations for that. I'm not a gelli expert, just a dabble, but I find that with thin paint layers, this paper absorbed relatively fast and all my prints came up clean, which was really nice. (yes my ink prints are bad and tiny squarea, this was me trying to learn)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this paper sturdier than Sumi-E for suminagashi?**
A: Unfortunately this paper is of inferior quality and should not be used for anything that involves water. I tried it for suminagashi and it completely dissolved. This is basically low quality copy paper claiming to be something else.

**Q: Does this paper having sizing on it?**
A: No sizing. I don’t use water media on it. I paint this sketch paper for use in creating collage pieces. CJones

**Q: should this be stored with mothballs?**
A: This sounds like a question for the seller. I’m an artist that use this paper to paint and use for collage material. I don’t store any of my papers with mothballs. The scent would run me away before a moth could come near them as my sense of smell is strong.

**Q: Is this smooth enough to use fountain pens on?**
A: One side is definitely smoother than the other. I use it to make prints with as it takes the paints well. but I am not sure that it would be suitable for fountain pen.  But when you think about it, the Japanese semi-e method uses wet ink, so I would suggest you give it a go if you can afford to put the pad aside if it doesn't suit your purpose.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great collage paper. Great edge ripping action, too! See video
*by B***O on December 1, 2025*

Perfect for gel printing. Interesting texture, smooth on one side, and a soft-like, almost velvety feeling on the other. A bargain at 48 sheets. Not sure why they didn’t round up to 50, but that’s ok!
