PLEASE!!! Pick a pronounciation and stick to it!!! Pick cOpic (the right one) or cAUpic (the incorrect one) but it was so distracting! Also, it might have helped to explain the reasons why certain papers are better than others and why cheap paper doesn't work. So many popular papers used by artists/crafters that you didn't even mention (ie Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth, Cryogen white, etc.) Just a few suggestions...TFS.

@mcescher1957 Most people only review one type of paper in a video so I think the amount I did was perfectly fine. I personally don't like Cryogen so I wasn't going to buy any just to review it. However, thanks for advising me to review more types, I'll consider it. Also, see comment below: "@hiphopxlover I know since the marker is Japanese so technically it is "Ko-pee-ku" but as far as Americans go, I've heard both versions. I tend to go back and forth since I have friends that say both"

@Bloodsport1 I believe on Blick you can get 30 sheets of copic paper priced from 8.99 to 12.99, so it's much more affordable there.

@aigouart How much is Copic paper or a stack of copic paper? Just recently I bought the Strathmore 400 Seriies drawing pad. To me its really for copic but I also used prismacolors with copic because prismacolors have such a large selection more than copic. I remember a couple of years back, I would cringed at copic prices but if I want the better and superior quality I have to pay for it and its well worth it.

@Bloodsport1 Yes I would! I work at Utrecht (an art store in certain states of the US) and I've bought Canson Marker paper from the store before. It works almost the same as Copic Marker paper. In my experience, Copic paper is only a tad bit better so if you want a pad of paper (which Canson has but with Copic it's hard to find), or, if you want to save some money I'd definitely recommend it.
