This was excellent paper for the page of colored pictures in my Christmas letter this year. The ink showed up bright and clear and there was no smearing. I'm grateful to find such good quality for a reasonable price. The weight is just right not being too heavy but substantial enough to appear professional. It was recommended by the print shop in Staples since she used it for the printing of her color pictures. I couldn't be happier and I would recommend this paper to any of my friends.
