Differences in expression depending on thickness

Regular-weight paper allows ink to spread easily horizontally, requiring less ink, allowing for lighter brush strokes.
Another issue is that thicker paper is more prone to bleeding than thicker paper.
If you want to avoid bleeding, it's best to choose thicker paper.
If you want to minimize bleeding, you can try increasing the ink density.

With thicker paper, the ink penetrates deeper into the paper, resulting in less lateral bleeding and a sense of depth in the ink color.
Thicker paper requires more ink, and because it causes less bleeding, it's easier to create rubbing effects.
If you want to avoid rubbing, it's best to choose standard-weight paper.

We recommend that you try out standard-weight and extra-heavy-weight paper to compare their respective advantages.
