I’ve tried copic and prisma colors and both bled through to the back side and the following page. **Q: How much does it weigh** A: Hi Chriss. Thanks for your inquiry regarding my Moleskine large Sketchbook. The weight is 12 ounces. Hope this is helpful, Judy @ Itz a Book **Q: How is this for just ink? I was thinking of archiving inktober sketches** A: It's good for ink; But does tend to buckle if you use a lot of water. Hope this helps **Q: Two questions. 1. is it a good paper for copic markers? and 2. i’m super confused with sizing. i need a5 size that can be later into a4. thank you** A: This is good paper for about anything. If your markers are super juicy I might get a different sort. I teach art so can help you out with the A5 and A4 thing. Also I lived in Germany and this is how they size things. a4 is bigger than a5 but proportional so I only can think you are going to electronically or through copier enlarge a page from the Moleskin. You can see description of this system if you google it. SO any a5 size can be turned into A4 if you reduce it but Physically A5 is smaller area than A4. Hope this helps you. Happy to sell you what I have for sale on Amazon. ## Frequently Bought Together - Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Plain/Blank, Black, 104 Pages - SAKURA Pigma Micron Fineliner Pens - Archival Black Ink Pens - Pens for Writing, Drawing, or Bullet Journaling - Assorted Point Sizes - 6 Pack - Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Plain/Blank, Black, 80 Pages --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1833960-art-plus-sketchbook-large-plain-black-hard-cover-5-x](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/1833960-art-plus-sketchbook-large-plain-black-hard-cover-5-x) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
