What type of "finish" is the paper? Smooth or pebbly or something in between? Thanks folks

Most of the reviews describe the texture. It's very porous and a little rough and textured. Most zentanglers gave tips for pens to use or how to seal or pre treat them.

Mine arrived for my purpose to draw Zentangles. The finish is not smooth and I had to spray with a sealer to prevent the ink from bleeding a bit; however these are intended to absorb wetness as a coaster should and should serve that purpose very well.

I bought some 80lb white half fold greeting card paper and it works great but it does not have a glossy finish. It is a Matte type finish.

Hey Katie, I have this coffee table & LOVE IT! The panels are almost 100% flat & even. The wood is fairly smooth-- not sanded down & lacquered, but a bit more rustic & natural. Hope that helps.

I have mixed feelings about this paper. It is very easily marred. You can make a mark or scratch in it with your fingernail. It is a spongy like material. If you wanted to experiment with it, you could probably just be prepared to change the paper every so often when it started looking shabby or got scratched. (I'm assuming it would have no protective cover ) It looks very realistic even up close but it's a bit fragile.

It is particle board and it does not have a plastic finish. I would say it has a film like finish on it, because it can peel off. The bed is very comfy. A good beginner bed.

It is plain paper and can be written on very easily. I would classify the paper as being a lighter weight, very opaque, high grade bond.

It's beautiful paper but more toward the gold champagne instead if any silver look. We used for my daughters wedding invitations and got a lot of complements. People were shocked we made them ourselves. Very nice paper.

The paper does not have a wax or poly coating. It is a paper product we use for children's art projects

It has a smooth finish inside. I'm assuming this is a glaze. Hope this helps.

Hi Julie, I do not remember them saying exactly what type of finish it is on the table. I went with the lighter wood and it is a very light finish. Certanly not a high gloss finish at all. Our grandson loves his table and chairs. barb

The paper is a bright matte finish. The heaviness of the paper makes it perfect for two-sided printing. I use it for two-sided printing on both inkjet and laser printers. It does not bleed through the way 20-24 lb paper does.

Hugh I usually use High Gloss paper if you never tried Soft Gloss it is something you might want to try. I like the result of soft Gloss and the next time I order paper I am going to buy the Soft Gloss. They are both good and you may prefer one over the other so I would give them a try, Joe

It is not paper. It is a vinyl type plastic, I believe. The "bumpy side" goes down and the smoother side up. I have found this product easy to use and maintain. Hope this answer helps.

paper isn't glossy and I've been using it for 2 sided color copies without the ink running through. It's definitely an excellent paper to use.

Rebecca it is very smooth. I stained it with a satin oak finish and I am very happy with it.Mike

It is very nice, regular paper - NOT glossy, and erasable. Like it very much.

Smooth paper. Thicker than computer paper, not as thick as drawing paper like bristol. A micron or sharpie probably won't bleed through if you're writing or lightly sketching, but might if you're doing heavy ink drawings.
