While hapa zome will work on any type of paper, something like watercolor paper is better as it can absorb the colors. This is because the fibers in the paper are more loosely bound together, which allows the dye to penetrate more easily. Copier paper, on the other hand, is too smooth and the dye will sit on top of the paper instead of being absorbed. Therefore, if you're interested in trying hapa zome on paper, it's best to use a type of paper that will allow the colors to really stand out. Don’t forget to try different weights or thicknesses of paper as well to create beautiful works of art on your piece of paper.
