In order to draw and write with nibs and ink you will need paper or paperboard with a smooth surface so that the nib can glide smoothly over it. Paper that has both internal sizing and surface (tub) sizing is recommended because it prevents the ink from bleeding and increases the brightness of the colours being used. A soft paper, or one with a rough surface, can tend to puff up when written on with a nib pen, which can end up making the nib jam into the paper especially when making quick strokes. Drawing inks are very often also used on acetate film. In this case, however, preliminary trials are necessary in order to be cetain that the ink will be absorbed. Among the types of paper that are great for use with ink and nibs are elephant hide, the paper in the Hahnemühle pen and ink drawing pad or the satined paper found in the Clairefontaine writing pads and notebooks.
