This is due to the ink remaining on the surface, which results in a more lustrous and vibrant print after printing. Tissue Paper

Hot pressed paper has the least textured surface, having been pressed between hot metal rollers during production. Hot pressed paper is favoured by those who like to work delicately with a lot of detail, such as botanical artists. Hot pressed paper tends to be the least absorbent of all of the textures, and watery washes can sit on the surface for a long time. Beyond watercolour painting, hot pressed watercolour paper makes an excellent support for detailed pen, ink and graphite drawing. Foam board – A sandwich of foam laminated by two sheets of board makes a rigid sheet suitable for model making and mounting projects. From Middle English syse,[1] of unclear origin;[2] related to Old Italian sisa (“a glue used by painters”),[3] perhaps ultimately related to size / syse (“amount”),[2][3] or perhaps shortened from assisa, from assiso (“to make to sit, to seat, to place”)

Wet mediums are more demanding and less predictable in general, and the mistakes made with them are harder to fix. But the right type of paper will decrease the number of possible mistakes and ruined drawings. In this article, I have reviewed some of the best papers for alcohol inks, taking into account both the features and the opinions of users.

Sheets with more narrowly distributed fibres tend to curl or warp less as they are coloured. The smoother a surface is, the easier it will be to colour on and maintain smooth colouring effects, such as gradients or shading. Well, you can. It is not the law that you must use the proper paper but why would you want to end up with inferior results? Surely you wish for your creation to come to life as beautifully and vividly as you have imagined. The main problems you are going to encounter when using non-specific paper will be the roughness of the texture preventing a smooth stroke, the paper is too porous or equally not porous enough so the ink bleeds or ghosts and problems may arise when you are trying to blend. To summarise, there are ample paper products available on the market but they are designed to be used for specific mediums. You can try any medium on any paper but you simply will not get the desired effect consistently and you will encounter unnecessary problems. Time-tested brands have unique structures that prevent colour from bleeding into the paper. In the best papers, this structure is repeated in multiple layers of the paper creating a superior surface for your markers to glide across. Probably the biggest issue that artists face while working with markers is that the marker ink used in the alcohol-based markers is a really thin liquid that is bleeding through the paper very easily.It is important to make sure the place you put the paper is smooth. It is sufficient to use glass, ceramic, metal, flattened wood, and other surfaces. Goatskin and sheepskin were employed by early artists for their drawings. Tracing, calligraphy, and drafting were all done on vellum drawing paper made from these translucent parchments. Without the smoothness of the marker strokes, you are going to end up with obvious start and stop points within your work. The full coloured areas will not be a smooth complete fill. Perhaps this is an effect you want but is it not better to be able to choose when to use this effect and when not to than just be forced with this result?
