Is the paper thick enough for sharpies without bleeding?

If you are not too heavy with the sharpie, yes. I use Pigma Micron pens (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0008G8G8Y/) without any problem. But it's more for sketching than finished art work. I use it as a traditional sketchbook to capture the mood and my thoughts in addition to a photo. Photos tend to miss the mood of the moment that a sketchbook can capture. If you are heavy with a sharpie, then you would just no use the reverse side of the page. Or you could use something like a Strathmore Visual Journal (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003YIZ0DW).

The paper can bleed quite a bit if you're not careful. It's really akin to a hardened type of toilet paper...very absorbent. It will bleed through if you don't move with the pen fast enough. It is VERY thick, though. You'll love it!

I am not sure. Put extra paper under your writing or coloring paper to protect your surface. Sharpie Metallic pens are smooth writing, easy flow, beautiful color and a joy to use.

I write in my moleskin journals with them -- no bleeding through to the other side. I suppose it depends on how thin the paper is, but I've had no problems whatsoever. HTH

You can use black sharpie and it doesn't bleed, it's a plastic strip. Not really tape....

On regular printer paper you can see the ink on the other side but it does not bleed through. In my experience, the black pens "bleed" less than the blue/red/etc.

I like the sharpies because they are retractable and they are OK for highlighting and underlining. The sharpie bleed through paper and is darker especially the dark blue and red. However I still like the red as it draws my attention. The Ticonderoga hasn't smudged my printed documents or ever bled through.

No, not really. If you flip your paper over, you may be able to see that you have written on the other side. For sure doesn't if you use card stock. Regardless, it's NOTHING close to how a sharpie bleeds. Hope that helps !

In the 2015 planner, I had fine sharpie markers bleed through. Gel pens do not bleed through.

I have had no issues with "bleeding" ink and this paper. I have a Brother LC75 series ink jet

No. I have written mostly on notebooks and printer papers (20 lbs bond) and the ink does not bleed through.

As in writing with a pen? - yes, I've written on them with a sharpie marker. If you mean as in running them through a printer - I think they *might* be a bit too stiff and/or thick for that - but writing/drawing on them works fine.

No! Don't buy these thinking they will have a thin line. The ink bleeds on paper and leaves a broad line that, in my mind, does not qualify as fine.

The pens writer really smoothly and don't bleed through regular paper. The Sharpie ultra fine markers produce bold permanent color with a fine writing tip. They will bleed through standard paper.

It will do fine with sharpies. I use mixed medium, primarily watercolors, and the paper holds up well with water. The book has more pages than other journals I've had. The cover is very sturdy. I'm pleased with this item.

Its not too thick a paper, so there are chances of you tearing it in case of a very sharp pen.. You might just wanna use a normal stick pen Hope this helps !!

Yes, most alcohol markers will bleed through the paper unless you are using something extra thick. They would not be good for a standard coloring book with pictures on both sides of the page. You will have better luck with something water-based.
