Differences in Expression Depending on Thickness

Normal-thick paper allows ink to spread more easily, requiring less ink, allowing for more agile brushstrokes.
Also, regular-thick paper is more prone to bleeding than thick paper.
If you want to avoid bleeding, choose thicker paper.
To minimize bleeding, you can increase 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 to be used, and because there is less bleeding, it is easier to express rubbing.
If you don't want rubbing, it is better to choose a standard thickness.

We recommend that you try out standard and thick paper to compare the advantages of each.
