KB Paper

I LOVE this paper! I started using this paper to make my own A5 planner since my perfect-for-me planner didn’t exist. Paper prints easily off my cheap printer for my planner sheets and doesn’t clog the machine. I love how highlighters look vibrant and true to color on this paper too. The paper is slightly thicker than 52 gsm tomoe river paper but thinner than regular printer paper. If you love watercolor as much as I do, this paper works well, blends colors easily, layering is great, and can handle wetter paint (whereas the 52 gsm tomoe river paper dries too quickly and can’t do super wet water washes). There is no bleed thru of the watercolor paints. You will still see and feel some crinkling but not as bad as the tomoe river paper. I’ll add some blank pages in the back of my planner just for watercolor sketches. I think this paper is worth it!

I use this paper to make custom inserts and note pads for my Midori Traveler's Notebook. I make calendars, lined paper, dot grid, and graph. It has a coating on it that prevents bleed-through and ghosting of fountain pens. It has a great feel as well. It feeds through my laser printer with no problem, although there is an occasional creased page when printing both sides, I would say this is less than 5% of the time. At 64 gsm this paper is thinner than "typical" copy paper, which means in space-conscious applications like portable notebooks it works well where you can get more pages into the same thickness. The thinness doesn't feel like "cheapness" at all. I would call the color of this paper "cream". It is a pleasing color, but definitely not white. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this paper.

The paper itself is excellent, with an Epson inkjet the look of the ink is second to none as far as standard office paper goes. Also when using a fountain pen no feathering and minimum bleed through was encountered. However the one issue I encountered that was disappointing is the reams were dinged up during delivery. It happens, but when you spending this much for only 5 reams of paper, that is uncalled for. I can gladly report though that the paper has fed jam free through my MFP even despite of all the dinged up corners.

I LOVE Stalogy paper, but I wanted to make my own smaller inserts for my TN. I also wanted to print a 4 mm grid on it. First of all, yes, my paper package was open. However, it shipped in a box and wasn't damaged at all. I think the thin, washi style tape used to close the ream just isn't super strong. Upon removing a sheet of paper, I was impressed with how thin it was. It really felt like my Stalogy paper! Maybe a hair thicker, but very comparable. I put the paper in my printer and held my breath. It printed like a dream! Double sided, even! I quickly put it together into an insert. The color is a nice white, which I prefer so I don't have to buy fancy cream colored correction tape. It is SO SMOOTH to write on! I mainly use gel pens and while there is some ghosting, bleed through is minimal. MOST of my fountain pens did not bleed through, but a few jucier inks did show a few dots of bleeding through the paper. I am very happy with this paper. Yes, it is more expensive, but the number of inserts I will be able to make will be a far greater savings in the long run and they will be exactly what I want.

The quality of this paper has surpassed all of my expectations, the price is absolutely worth it. If you're into loose leaf bullet journaling, this is what you're going to want to use. No bleed through with felt pens, it's perfect for pages you want to last throughout the year. I've only taken a star away because the ream came to me opened, and I'm pretty sure there's about 1/8" stack of paper missing from it.

I bought this since I was tired of cutting down letter sized paper to fit into my A5 six ring-bound planner. This paper does not have the holes punched in, so as long as you have the special six ring hole puncher, you should be good! I originally was concerned with how thin the paper is, and was wondering how well it would hold up to the medium sized nib fountain pens I regularly use in my journaling/planning. This holds up very well! It's definitely got some ghosting onto the other side, as this is very thin paper, but it has no feathering and holds the fountain pen ink very well. When I print on it using my inkjet printer (Canon Pixma), the printed parts have ghosting on the other side. I've tested it using my Sailor gold nibs, Pilot, Kaweco, Platinum, TWSBI, and Ferris Wheel Press fountain pens with my Diamine, Robert Oster, Sailor, Iroshizuku inks. IMO ghosting adds character to my note taking/journaling/planning, but this could be a deal-breaker for many! I do have to note that the paper is an off-white color. I was previously using a 32 lb weight printer paper for fountain pens that was this bright white color so I noticed the stark color difference of this pack. This doesn't bother me, but it may be an important point for others when considering their choices. Overall I'm super happy with this purchase. I organize a lot of my life into my planner so this paper will be well loved and used a LOT :)

Best reasonably priced paper for fountain pens that I have ever came across. Bought one (500 sheets of) A4 pack, and was blown away by the quality of the paper - no bleed-though on anything, very tactilely pleasing (if that's a word), and would recommend to anyone - 10/10. ONLY USED FOR PHYSICAL WRITING don't know how this paper would do in a printer, only used for writing with pens, fountain pens, markers, ect. Different size than standard-american-printer-paper, but can't image it would be that different to adjust.

I bought this for my son who has begun using fountain pens as his main choice of a writing tool. He was looking for paper that not only we can use for a printer, but would allow him to write on both sides of the paper. The very first page he pulled to test on bled through the pages. When I tried to return to Amazon I was notified that I must notify the company for refund. This took me to their external website's customer service page. I opened up a service ticket that generated an auto-reply email that thanked me for getting in touch and we will respond as soon as we can. That was more than month ago. I now have expensive printer paper. I do not recommend purchasing this from Amazon because of return issue.
