I used this paper for its weight and I liked the way a pencil felt on it for writing and drawing. I appreciate that it is 50% recycled. The paper made a good text paper for handmade little books.
I purchased this paper for use with a monochrome laser printer (black ink onto white paper) for records documents simple charts collecting data writings etc. The paper is fully adequate for these purposes.
The last time I bought recycled paper it had lots of visible flaws; varying shades of darker flakes of color strewn throughout the sheets of paper. But this is a welcome surprise. There must have been improvements over the years in the processing procedure. I'm very impressed!
