I love my Copic markers! But I'm having problems with bleeding because I know I'm not using the right paper. So what kind of paper should I be using for stamped images? I know I saw an article on this at one point and I didn't write down the information...silly me.

I've been using Photo Presentation Matte from Epson. You can also get something similar from Office Depot/Max. It is like card stock, but meant for printing pictures. I have a bit of a bleed on the back, but it handles the blending very well.

I didn't know tht you needed a special paper for copic because I have not used the. But Now I know.

I've taken several classes. The best paper to use is Georgia Pacific 110 lb weight cardstock from Walmart. It's 5.77 for 150 sheets
You can buy more expensive paper from others, but this is the best to use, and it's cheap and easy to get

Oh, and you should also stamp your images with Memento Ink. You can get that at various places including Hobby Lobby, as I looked and ACOT doesn't seem to carry it.

I think I had the two fold problem of ink and paper. I thought I was using the correct ink but it seems I was not. Thanks ladies for the input!!
