Default Could you recommend a watercolor paper to use with Tombow brush pens?

I received my first Tombow brush pens today and love them! I'm going to be ordering more and would love to know what paper others are using and recommend? I don't need anything super fancy, but don't want to waste money on low quality paper either. If it could be cut with my Cameo and work with my brother laser printer that would be a plus.

Thanks in advance!

I use Canson..heavy weight..can't remember but will check when I get home..( might be tomorrow before I get back to you though)..I also like hot pressed paper ( which is smooth) ..If I am not mistaken I have 140lb weight ..which will take a good bit of water and lifting and scrubbing if needed without deterioration and pilling up..oh and buckling..paper buckle drives me up a wall. That is what I use for stamping..for larger pieces of watercolor art..I like a 300lb weight but that is heavy and will cause your cards to weigh a ton.
My best advice is to try out a few papers and see if you like them..Canson, and Strathmore are two goods ones to start with. I would be happy to mail you a few sample pieces of what I have. It is very frustrating in the begining to need "something" and not know what the heck it is get it and it was wrong..color..size..etc..LOL ( ask me how I know that )

I use Strathmore Cold Press 140#. It comes in a 9x12 pad. You can get it a Michael's and I use coupons because it is a bit pricey.

I use Strathmore and Canson too but that is not going through your Cameo. I think your laser printer would faint too.
