Our paper bleed-through test samples are designed to give you a clear idea of how different writing tools—such as pens, pencils and markers—perform on our notebook and journal paper. These sample pages allow you to see ink bleed-through, ghosting, and feathering before ordering in bulk, helping you make the best choice for your organization, school, or business.

We’ve included these test sheets to provide a general reference based on our own in-house testing with common writing instruments. Every paper type behaves differently depending on ink flow, writing pressure, and pen tip size, so results may vary. Your results may differ depending on your specific pen or marker, writing style, and conditions.
