Product Information
Full details
The Canson Graduate Manga Marker Layout Pad is a professional-grade solution designed specifically for manga artists, illustrators, and students who utilize spirit or solvent-based markers. Its primary benefit lies in the specialized ink-barrier paper that keeps colors vibrant and prevents bleeding, though its 70gsm lightweight nature means it is strictly intended for marker work rather than heavy wet-media techniques. This pad offers a perfectly smooth, ultra-white surface that ensures consistent, velvety application for detailed illustrations and manga layouts.

Troubleshooting
Ink bleeding through to the next page
Ensure you place a scrap piece of paper or a desk mat between the current page and the next sheet to protect against saturation.
Paper curls after heavy ink application
Apply color in lighter, thin layers rather than one heavy saturated pass; the barrier technology works best when ink is layered incrementally.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Prevents ink bleeding and ghosting on the reverse side
- Excellent for achieving smooth, flat tints with markers
- Ultra-white surface enhances color saturation
- Durable yet lightweight 70gsm weight
- Large A3 format provides ample space for complex layouts
Cons
- Lightweight 70gsm paper is not suitable for heavy watercolor or thick acrylic paint
- The thinness may cause slight curling if heavy ink saturation is used
- Semi-transparent nature is better for layouts than finished presentation pieces
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, work on a flat, hard surface to prevent accidental tears given the 70gsm weight of the paper. This pad is compatible with all leading brands of alcohol-based and solvent-based art markers.
- Compatibility: Best paired with high-quality markers. Avoid using heavy water-based washes, as the thin paper is not designed to absorb high volumes of liquid.
- Storage: Store the pad in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the ultra-white surface.
- Care: Since the pages are semi-transparent and thin, keep them handled by the edges to avoid oils from your fingers affecting the marker application later.
