Differences in Expression Depending on Thickness

Normal-thick paper allows the ink to spread easily horizontally, requiring less ink, allowing for lighter brush strokes.
It is also more prone to bleeding than thick paper.
If you want to avoid bleeding, choose thicker paper.
To minimize bleeding, you can increase the ink concentration.

Thick paper allows the ink to penetrate deeper into the paper, resulting in less bleeding and a sense of depth in the ink color.
Thick paper requires more ink, and because it minimizes bleeding, it is easier to create rubbing effects.
If you want to avoid rubbing, choose normal-thick paper.

We recommend that you try out normal-thick and heavy-thick paper to compare their respective advantages.
