Product Information
Full details
The Goldline Bleedproof Marker Pad A4 is an essential tool for illustrators, graphic designers, and students who require a reliable surface for alcohol-based markers and ink pens. Its primary benefit is the specialized 70gsm bleedproof paper that ensures vibrant colors stay on the surface rather than soaking through to the page below, though users should be aware that the paper's thin weight makes it less suitable for heavy wet media like watercolors or thick acrylics.

FAQs
Is this pad suitable for watercolor paints?
No, the 70gsm paper is too thin for water-based paints and will likely warp or tear; it is specifically designed for markers and inks.
Can I use alcohol-based markers on both sides of the paper?
While the paper is bleedproof, ink will still be visible on the reverse side. It is recommended to use only one side per sheet for professional results.
Does this paper yellow over time?
No, because the paper is acid-free, it is designed to resist yellowing and degradation, making it suitable for archiving professional work.
What is the weight of the paper?
The Goldline Marker Pad uses 70gsm paper, which is a lightweight, coated stock optimized for marker flow.
How many sheets are in the pad?
Each A4 pad contains 50 sheets of high-quality bleedproof paper.
Troubleshooting
Marker ink appears to bleed through the page
Ensure you are using alcohol-based markers specifically formulated for marker pads; high-solvent inks or excessive layering can occasionally overcome the bleedproof coating.
Paper surface curls or warps during use
Reduce the number of ink layers or passes in a single area, as oversaturation with wet ink can cause the lightweight paper fibers to expand and curl.
Colors are not blending as expected
Work quickly while the ink is still wet on the surface, as the non-absorbent nature of the paper dries ink faster than traditional drawing paper.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight paper can curl if saturated with too much ink
- Limited to marker and ink-based applications
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, always work on a flat, hard surface to prevent unwanted impressions on the pages underneath. While the paper is designed to be bleedproof, it is recommended to place a scrap sheet behind your drawing if you are using extremely heavy ink saturation. When storing the pad, keep it in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the acid-free quality of the paper. Avoid bending or folding the pad, as the thin 70gsm fibers can crease easily. If you accidentally spill water on the pad, allow it to air dry naturally, as direct heat can cause the page coatings to distort.
