Paper Review: Blicks Bristol Vellum

When I was at Dick Blick’s picking up paper I wasn’t able to find my usual over sized paper. So I grabbed the Blick’s brand.

I rather like it.

Feathering (how much the ink travels sideways in the paper)- almost none. Could put down several layers of ink before it started to spread. Even with red- awesome

Bleeding (how much the ink goes through the paper)- the ink was just starting to go through the paper when I finished my art. – decent.

Texture (does the paper have a texture that may impact the piece) – This paper is completely smooth. – no texture

Overall. I like this paper. I will continue to use it. I might not use it for single sided badges because I can see it on the back and I like my badges to either be two sided or not.

Cost – $11.79 + tax 11”x17” size 15 sheets
