Differences in Expression Depending on Thickness

Normal thickness paper allows ink to spread more easily, requiring less ink, allowing for more agile brushstrokes.
It is also more prone to bleeding than thicker paper.
If you want to avoid bleeding, choose thicker paper.
If you want to minimize bleeding, you can try increasing the ink density.

Thick paper allows the ink to penetrate deep into the paper, resulting in less horizontal bleeding and a sense of depth in the ink color.
Thick paper requires a larger amount of ink, and because it produces less bleeding, it's easier to create rubbing effects.
If you don't want rubbing, it's best to choose standard thickness.

We recommend trying out standard and thick paper to compare the advantages of each.
