Good practice paper for the Pilot Parallel Pen?
« on: July 03, 2019, 08:47:33 PM »
Hi!

Does anyone have a suggestion for a practice paper that has the following qualities:

• Enough grip (fine grain) for good pen control;
• Translucid enough to see a grid underneath;
• Will not make the Pilot Parallel Pen ink bleed;
• Comes as a pad.

Thanks for everything!

Chris.

I wonder if Borden & Riley's #37 marker layout paper might work for you?  It's definitely translucent, comes in a pad, and has a slight bit of tooth (unlike Canson Marker Layout and Rhodia, which are totally smooth).  The Pilot Parallel ink does not bleed on it.

Thanks! But unfortunately, this paper is not available in Montréal, Canada.
