I've been using this for a number of years now and always got on well with it. I usually sketch my illustrations out on a seperate rough piece of paper first, then with my light-tracer, use a sheet of this to trace my line art onto, then colour in with copic markers.
I have always found it very easy to colour / blend on, it is very white and the saturation levels are very high. This is NOT the kind of paper you want to be drawing / sketching / rubbing out on because of its low weight. I use it for my final colour work and it really shows up the true vibrance of my marker pens.
I am baffled why some reviewer's marked it down because it wasnt ideal to do pencil drawing on, or because they couldnt draw on the reverse side.... This is marker paper not sketching paper. I also noted a few claming it poor for blending on when that is really its strong suit.
I am no master artist but have attached one of my illustrations, which will hopefully show you what can be acheived with this paper and copic markers and airbrush.

a few things to note about this paper, first off 'bleedproof' is a bad name as markers will bleed through the paper a little due to how thin it is, (i recommend taking the paper off the pad before colouring to avoid ruining the lower pieces, alternatively you can use a sheet of greaseproof parchment or thick paper between pages). bleedproof for this paper means the markers don't run and spread out much on the paper, making it ideal for line work. ive tested the paper with expensive copics and cheap promarkers and it works very well for both in blending and block colour. secondly it should be noted that the colours will have a white speckle if only lightly applied in a single coat, again because of its antibleeding treatment. third, you can only use one side of the paper 'the dull side' as the shiny side keeps the markers from bleeding through and isn't an ideal surface to draw on.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2016
all in all this paper is very good for final pieces and detailed renders but you wouldn't want to waste the paper sketching due to its price per sheet and specialised use.

This used to be a Copic sketchbook, but it seems the Copic licensing has expired and not been renewed (see image) so the original manufacturer has branded it them themselves . It is the same paper and same results.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 June 2017
However, as with the original copic sketchbook, used with Copic markers they do a pretty good job, I have had a little bit of bleed with heavy marketing. Just thought I would do a quick review to put a few peoples mind at ease due to the lack of Copic branding.
