OK, now that you all got me into Prismas you are MAKING me try Copics! Darn! Just have a few and so far so good. But am wondering what paper you all find the best. It seems to seep through SU Whisper White.
I have tried SU WW, PTI, Neenah Solar White and Gina K Pure Luxury cardstock, and in my opinion the Gina K is the best cardstock to use with both the Copic's and the Prisma pencils. The Copic's don't soak through the Gina K CS like it does with the others so you are not using as much ink. I also use the Memento Tuxedo Black ink for both the Copic's and the Prisma pencils. I think that the CS you us is an individual thing, you might have to try several different CS in order to find which one works best for you.

who manufacture's the Gina K paper? I am new here and don't know all these companies.
Thanks
Gale thank you for answering, so who makes the neenah and the other you mentioned?
You can find Papertrey Cardstock at http://www.papertreyink.com/pb_paper.html it is the stampers select white. The Neenah Solar White I purchased from Stamping Bella but they don't seem to sell it anymore, so I am not sure where you can get it from.
I've only tried Gina K. and I really like it. I'm going to get a package of the Paper Trey and the Neenah Solar white to compare, though.
The nice part about the Gina K. 120 pound weight cardstock is that the colors don't bleed through, so you can use it without a backing for cards if you want. The 80 pound works well for blending, too, but it does bleed through.
Best paper for Copics?
