Great product

Tan lines are much better to write on. Easier to read the writing and works great with a copier. Please keep carrying this product.

This works perfectly with my fountain pens at work. I personally use medium nibs.

Fanastic Fountain Pen-Friendly Paper
on December 7, 2012
Posted by: Paula K.
Staples Sustainable Earth papers (which are 80% sugarcane) are the most fountain pen-friendly papers around and I hope Staples never stops making them. Fountain pen ink does not feather or bleed-through to the other side even with some of the wettest inks (and even though the paper is somewhat thin). As notebook papers go this is the only kind I use because it meets my needs perfectly. I only wish Staples would also make this paper available in plain sheets (like inkjet or copy paper). Two thumbs up!

Great all around writing pad
on October 16, 2010
Posted by: Paula K.
I use this product for taking notes that are both filed for future use and temporary/disposable "punch lists." The feel of the paper is good - great for pencil and pen both. My only complaint may be that the paper is a little thin. I don't mind since it's such an eco-friendly product. I would recommend and will definitely buy again!

We use these pad to write down work completed. The pages tear off too easily. Otherwise I have no problem with these pads.

dimensions not 8.5
on December 7, 2009
Posted by: Paula K.
I return from seven years abroad using materials under international standard (A4 etc.) that make sense and am still confounded by how stupid our American system is.. I tried to find a perforated writing pad that would have sheets that are ACTUALLY LETTER SIZE (8.5 x 11") after being detached..it seems no such thing exists in our culture. This 'eco-friendly' pad was the only one in the Staples catalog that had 8.5 x 11 in the title (not 8.5 x 11.75)-- upon receipt I confirmed that the sheets are identical in length to those from the more common generic 8.5" x 11.75" inch pads-- that is to say the sheets are actually 8.5" x 10-5/8" in length. Interestingly I checked the overall dimensions of both pads and found that the dimensions of the so-called 8.5x11" pad are actually 8.5x11.75" and the dimensions of the so-called 8.5x11.75" pad are actually 8.5x11-5/8". So it seems it is impossible not only to buy a pad with actual 8.5x11" inch sheets but it is impossible to SEARCH for a pad with 8.5x11" given that the dimensions of the pads themselves are not correct but mere approximations of our so-called standard paper size. This means that unless special care is taken every single time anyone using a two hole side punch for filing will never punch a sheet with handwritten notes from the pad in the same spot as a printed document! Yes it sounds petty but I ask you-- why do we in the US have and why do we put up with such low quality from even the simplest things we use to organize our lives? I have to worry about war overseas already is it REALLY TOO MUCH TO EXPECT THAT A "LETTER SIZE WRITING PAD" ACTUALLY HAVE LETTER SIZED SHEETS!!??? ARRRRGGGHH!

Bad paper

I bought it because it was eco-friendly but would rather kill more trees to have a decent notepad.
