Yup, I really like this paper. I didn't believe it was entirely bleed-proof. I was expecting, at best, bleed-resistant. But I've used everything on it and haven't had anything bleed through even a little. (It *is* more prone to smearing so I have to remind myself to give the ink extra time to dry before I touch the page.) I look forward to moving on to the larger hardcover version. (But I still need to finish sketchbooks #10, #12, and #13 because of course I still have three active sketchbooks going.)
