Hows the bleed through for anyone using markers in the regular sketchbook?

Alcohol based markers definitely bleed. I’ve tried copic and prisma colors and both bled through to the back side and the following page.

How much does it weigh

Hi Chriss. Thanks for your inquiry regarding my Moleskine large Sketchbook. The weight is 12 ounces. Hope this is helpful, Judy @ Itz a Book

How is this for just ink? I was thinking of archiving inktober sketches

It's good for ink; But does tend to buckle if you use a lot of water. Hope this helps

Two questions. 1. is it a good paper for copic markers? and 2. i’m super confused with sizing. i need a5 size that can be later into a4. thank you

This is good paper for about anything. If your markers are super juicy I might get a different sort. I teach art so can help you out with the A5 and A4 thing. Also I lived in Germany and this is how they size things. a4 is bigger than a5 but proportional so I only can think you are going to electronically or through copier enlarge a page from the Moleskin. You can see description of this system if you google it. SO any a5 size can be turned into A4 if you reduce it but Physically A5 is smaller area than A4. Hope this helps you. Happy to sell you what I have for sale on Amazon.
