Normal Bleed?

[toonMom]

I have been playing around with markers and trying to find a good paper to use. I bought some 110 lb cardstock, but it seems to me like there is too much bleed. Is bleeding normal or should there be none at all?

Here are some images of what I am talking about:

229-lf


Rub A Dub


Tombow


The 229-lf had the most bleed and the Tombow didn't have hardly any bleed. I also have some 80 lb Bristol that does the same thing.

Toonmom Hi,
It could be the paper. I know you have to move your hand fast when drawing with makers. The 229lf is a great marker. It has a great tip for thick and thin lines.
Post some drawings when you get a chance to break it in.......

So it could be a speed issue? I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense.
