You two are so sweet together. Always heartwarming to see. Such a good Team ❤.

Thank you Jennifer and Steve for educating us on the best papers for the job! I really love that Steve has become a more Audio/visual part of the Bliss experience, as he has a lot to offer also, and of course little Rose for our comic relief-love when she’s digging around and your response to it Jennifer! Excellent! Never tried coloring on tan paper but cannot wait to order.

You know I always thought vellum meant smooth learned something thank you

I had to replenish my printer with plain paper earlier this week but all I could find in my stash was Bristol Vellum 67# paper. I opened it up and it’s just like card stock. I didn’t want to waste it for every day printing so I sat it to one side until I could find out what to do with it. You have answered my question! I didn’t realize what I had 😊

Loved this very informational, educational video for us coloring crazed blissful beauties out here!

I'm a colored pencil artist and used mainly mix media paper, but now i use arches hot pressed watercolor paper and pastelmat and these papers are amazing!! Can take tons and tons of layers 😍

I learned a lot this evening. Than you for sharing.. I cant wait to use my new knowledge.

Just what I needed after a stressful day thanks you guys!

Loved this series. It sure helped...

I've been Needing this.THANKS SOooo much🙏🙏🙏🤟❣🌻

Thank you for this video on different kinds of papers.lt was very informative i learned a lot 😊

I’m looking forward to the printer workshop!

Fantastic video! Thank you.

Thanks for this !!! I am new to the colorist world so education like this is valuable. I just got a printer so I can start printing out the PDF's and it's helpful to know what paper works best for what project you are working on.

That’s very generous of you to share this information, thank you. I’m not sure I’ll be able to fumed this paper outside the US, or, may be, Europe, but I’ll keep an eye on it. And thanks for the “vellum” word, that’s what I needed to find the perfect texture for pencils.

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful to me. I don’t color with my pencils very often because I was never sure about the paper. But I love colored pencils. Markers are not my thing. So once again this was very helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

U guys are the BEST!

First ♥️♥️love your videos, sending love from Philippines 🌷

This was very helpful, thanks 👍🏽💛

Great informative video, and I love Rose!

👍Thanks for al that important information about the right paper for the right Media

I've been trying to do illustrations and use my sketchbook (Canson mixed media xl is my go to, I lov the huge sketchbooks cos I enjoy drawing big) solely for brainstorming and doodles, so this video is a good sign I should do this lol 💖

I love the mixed media paper. I have my swatch books in it.

Love these product videos. Learn something new every time I watch them. Just curious if you have tested any of the French Paper Co. cover stocks? Thanks

Love the Coloring Paper 😊

Excellent info, thanks so much. More “insider info” videos like this please. I would love to hear what you two think of the Yasutomo Multi Media Mineral Paper. “Made from rocks, not trees!” says the pad cover. It also says “vellum surface” but it feels very smooth to the touch. I’ve not had good results using coloured pencil, it seems my Prismacolors are too waxy resulting in clumping, but I’ve gotten some beautiful results with Daler-Rowney acrylic inks, with two light coats. The opinion of a knowledgeable paper nerd and a skilled colourist with a full arsenal of tools would be fascinating.

Wow, who knew? I don't currently have a printer or a place to put one but I love getting the correct paper for my pens and markers. I especially love the black. I like Morandi gel pens for it. They are so bright. They come in .5 . Maybe they will make a broad tip soon. Thank you for all the information!

I have been using the hammermill grey toned 67lb vellum bristol for about a year , I hardly use white anymore. I bought some tan paper that is a little heavier ,I am going to find some a little lighter, But still it is nice to work on. Thanks Jennifer and Steve

Do you have a recommendation for grey paper? Same brand as the black & Kraft? Thanks for all the info!! Love your weekly videos.

For Copic Markers, I have always loved X-Press-It Cardstock. But you can't really add much in the way of colored pencils. It is at least 100lbs or more, and somehow my printer can handle it with no problems. With my colored pencils, it's Neenah in a higher weight. But I don't like using my Copic Markers in it. I can't wait to try the paper I bought from you guys! Thank you so much!

I Loved this video! I use the white Neenah cardstock for stamping and coloring on, but I like to use Bazzill Basics Worldwide (either the 8 1/2" x 11" or the 12" x 12" size) in 'Peanut Cluster' cardstock to use for stamping and coloring. However, Bazzill stopped making the 'Peanut Cluster' "flavor" ☹️☹️, so I'm always on the lookout for a good tan color cardstock. I like to use Canson XL for drawing/coloring, but I like to challenge myself coloring on different colors of paper... on namely tan-colored paper though. Thank You, Coloring Bliss, for all that awesome knowledge!! 😍😁🙂😊

Thank you for your paper recommendations! You left out Pastel paper and Gel Pen paper.

I’m nuts about paper too. LOVE anything paper too.

Absolutely love this video I'd like more texture on my paper.. especially....do you have a video of using markers and such on small examples....video?...I'm like your husband I do like paper and learning how they make it historically ...

Thank you for your video!!...I'm thinking of getting into making my own coloring books and doing my research on types of papers. I was wondering if you have suggestions on the type of paper to use for a cover and also laminating. I'd be making it for kids and possibly with the intent to sell them if they would take off. My hopes at least.

I really would love for you to bring your metallic paper back

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 I looked up all the papers on amazon that were available, and OMG I was sick at the price of them... oh well, one day, maybe! (Aus$ sucks)

😂Hi sweeties love you two ur Both Beautiful God Bless you both Yes the right paper is so important ❤❤

I have the Cranson XL The small booklet (like the one you carry) to use to make swatches.. Is it too toothy that will eat up my pencils ? I Appreciate You guys!!🎨🖍🖌✏🙏🤟❣

Do you have a combo pack for tan and white colored pencil paper?

What I'd like to see as a public (free to all, not just Bliss Partners) follow-up video for this is a video covering home printers that can officially stand up to printing on at least the 67 lb papers, please. By officially I mean as documented in the official product manual. Not just because people manage to poke it through. I've researched printers up to around the $300 range now, and according to the official manuals, most laser printers in that range can only handle around 43 lb paper, and some InkJet in that range can only handle up to 27 lb. If I go to the expense of buying another printer, I cannot risk potentially voiding my warranties (I'd probably buy an extended warranty plan) by using it for off-label usage. That is throwing paper weights through it it was never intended to support. Just because I want to print some coloring pages? Nope, I couldn't do it, because the printer would have to last years, with my warranty intact. I really adore and respect both of you, and the Coloring Bliss brand, but not everyone can afford $25 monthly for the Partner Workshops.

That is a very good question, because many of us are on low budgets and have ink jet printers over ten years or more old. If you get a paper jam well inside the machine, you might as well kiss it good-bye. I had to literally take mine apart and very slowly and gently remove the deeply emboweled page avoiding any tearing of it or hard contact by it or my fingers with any other wire or machine part on your paper's way out. Rebuilding your printer is fun, too.

@@deepowers3117 I don't have the capacity to take electrons apart now. I cannot manage to change the blade in a pencil sharpener, with a precision screw driver.. Everyone online is so condescending about printing coloring images, "just print on whatever you want, regardless of machine specifications. If it breaks, just buy a another printer." Sorry, but I can't afford to do that. Having to deal with that attitude constantly is making me want to just unsubscribe from the coloring groups.

Printers are so frustrating! I’m sorry you’re both having trouble. I wish there was a way that making all our content free for everyone would work as a business plan. Coloring Bliss is our primary family income and it financially supports many people. As you know, thoroughly researching and learning about things like printers takes a lot of time and preparing lesson plans, filming, editing, and hosting a website is very time consuming and expensive. The only way that Coloring Bliss can exist is if we can make it profitable. Having said that, we strive to balance our paid and free content so that there is something here for everyone (often sacrificing potential income opportunities along the way). I am very aware of the members of our community that are on tight or fixed incomes. I want our free content to continue to grow but I also don’t want Coloring Bliss to disappear. Thank you for your support and understanding as we strive to find the best balance for us and for the Bliss community as a whole. Also…I would recommend sending your specific questions to Steve via email through our website. He may be able to help you.

@@ColoringBliss Dear Steve and Jennifer, My computer kicked me off the page before I could finish what I meant to say. Those not so happy experiences with my printer were supposed to be the intro to a Thank you for telling me so much about paper. Now, I know where to look on the packages to find that information and how to understand what it means. That understanding should help me consider whether or not I think my printer can handle my intended purchase. If I don't know, I can always call my printer's maker and ask him the same thing. My question about possible member discounts, was simply, because after ten years as a member, I didn't know. I appreciate all you two are doing to help people have access to free material, and just wanted to know if there was a discount for members, and how to get the prices for what you have for us to use. Thank you, for your product reviews, your hard work at keeping us informed about how to use products and your nice demos on how to make our attempts at coloring to look better than they did before your videos. The tremendous amount of work involved in running a business like the one you and Steve do must be exhausting, and your knowledge about coloring, Jennifer, I respect very much. Thank you both, Dee Powers

@@ColoringBliss I understand you can't make all content free. I wasn't advocating that. Just a follow-up on this video with suggestions on printers that can officially print on at least the 67 lb Bristol vellum paper that everyone is advocating. I, in no way, would want you to make everything free, because people wouldn't appreciate it. In the past, I've been involved in hobbies that involved online freebies.The more you make and give, the more people expect. Often with more complaints than thank yous. I'd never expect everything for free. ;)

Jennifer, from last week, did you put the Prisma 36 pencils (in the tin) in the tri-tones? I looked for it. Couldn’t find.

I have been using Springhill 67 lb but find it a bit too toothy and revert back to plain cardstock, 110 lb. I just cant decide which is better and am wondering if the 80 lb. Springhill is not as toothy. I prefer the tooth but the outcome just doesn't satisfy me. I like the sheen the cardstock gives my stuff, it is lighter in color and doesn't do faces and hair or fur as well. I have been debating this for years, doing swatches, whole pictures in both. What is your opinion of the 80 lb vs. the 67 for tooth? Love your channel, btw.

I’ve been on the hunt for papers that are dupes for Johanna Basford and Kerby Rosane books. It’s the only paper I enjoy with colored pencils.

What paper do you use in your books? Is it comparable to drawing and sketch pads?

Hello again God Bless to you all 😇🙏😊😊

Best paper for gel pens?

I use the Springhill Digital paper all the time. But I wasn’t to check out the others you showed us.

Does that first brand of 80 lb white vellum bristol paper have a right side for printing?. Thanks for sharing all this info.

I am in the market for a wireless mobile laser printer. As I do not have a computer I will be printing from my phone, mobile printing is a must. Does anyone have a recommendation?

The Accent Opaque Digital you recommended for mixed media-does it have sizing on it or in it?

No sizing on any of the papers except for our watercolor paper.

Question for Steve (or Jennifer but Steve seems to be the paper expert 😅): is there another word used to describe vellum? I'm in Northern Ireland and sadly the shipping is too much for me, and the few uk distributors of springhill britsol vellum I can find only will ship to mainland. When I try looking for "vellum" paper in local art stores or print shops the only paper coming up is the translucent type of paper people use in papercrafts? Is there analternative name for the finish so I can try finding some that will ship to me?
