Does anyone out there use this for calligraphy? I'm wanting to be able to see the guide lines without marking them out on the paper.

I can see through quilting cotton fabric. You should be able to see through any paper. I can try later today with a 28 lb paper and see if I can view through.

The point isn't fine enough to appear as a "pen" signature, but it is fine enough for autographing black pages, IMHO. The signature might have to be about 20% larger than when using a more typical pen. I have not tested it for seeping through; I use mine to label black plastic model airplane connections.

Hi Mike. While this sounds like a great idea, I just tried to use it to cut a piece of scrap material. The guide bar doesn't really lift enough to slide material under it unless it's very thin material. If you slide it all the way out of the way and maybe secure the material in place with masking tape, then with the light on you could probably trace and see well enough to trace the outline of a stencil... but probably only if the material is a thin and light colored material. I guess the short answer is it would work, but limited. Great idea though. I shopped around a bit before I bought mine and I don't remember seeing anything else like it in this price range. Good luck!

I tested it with a black Sharpie and it does not bleed through to the original beneath. It also does not feather on te tracing paper, it works beautifully. Very clean and takes to toe paper well.

I've used copics and prismacolor markers in this, the paper is thin and pen and marker will bleed through pretty badly. I would recommend buying a book or paper specifically for copics, or a multimedia sketchbook.

I don't believe so. Parchment paper is maybe a little waxed or something and is used for baking. I think you should look in the stationery department or perhaps the art supplies department for tracing paper which should be a little thinner and easier to see through.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

Entirely my opinion from testing and experience, I like paper with some weight to it such as Bristol,vellum Bristol, watercolor, or for mix media or dry medium. But try any paper your curious to try it on, it might be different for you. How you blend/use the markers is a definite factor. For example, I can use high quality paper but if I don't understand how to blend/use the markers, it'll still come out bad. Hope that helps!

This is not what you need, it's overpriced. Check out Musemee Notier V2 http://musemee.com/mstore/index.php ; the Notier V2 is like this only better priced and does just fine for notetaking and some sketching and illustrating. Replacement tips are easy to acquire as well. All the best.

Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, we have had great results with using our markers on blackboard contact paper. However because these products can vary in quality, we would recommend you test a small inconspicuous area of your surface first to ensure you have no problems wiping away the ink or there are no ghosting affects. We hope we have answered your question sufficiently, if you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us again. Enjoy creating works of art on your blackboard contact paper! Kind regards Lilly Morrison - Inspired By Craft

Good Question! Any calligraphic writing tool needs to be able to make both wide and thin lines - usually by rotating the tool in one's fingers as we write. And of course everyone has their favorite shape point. I just measured one of my Sharpies. The shape is a double chisel 1/8" wide. The chisel point length is 3/16" long and tapers down to a thinner edge at the tip which is also 1/8" wide but only .025" thick. It is slightly elastic. So with this sharpie I can make a line 1/8" wide.... and by rotating it in my fingers as I write, the same writing stroke can vary from 1/8" width down to about 20% of that. The Sharpie isn't a professional tool; it's just a basic shape that works well and the price is low. It also has an exceptionally nice ink. rog

I have only used it with Paper by 53 on my iPad. I like it a lot, but have no experience with using it other programs. The tips wear out if you use a lot of pressure, so have extras on hand. EH, Cleveland, OH

It just has a range, so I guess you could clip it to as large a distance as it has. BUT too close and it doesn't register either. I've used it on sketchbook sizes that are small, like moleskin and regular paper. It's cool, records your strokes too.

I haven't used markers very much so far with this sketch book but what I have used hasn't bled much. I could see it bleeding through if you were using a heavy amount. Hope that helps.

I use the top metal guide to line up the paper. I also use the grid lines. It cuts quite nicely and seems to be pretty accurate.

Yes it very clear to read and dark lines. It should be fine using a dry erase marker. :)
