LOVE< LOVE< LOVE this paper!  The little hint of gold is spectacular.  The repeat on the paper lined up almost perfect for my wall so I had very little waste which is always a concern with wall paper.

I do a lot of writing, and for the most part write everything out in longhand with a fountain pen before going to the computer. I have tried many types and makes of paper over the years, and have found that - next to Levenger's more impressive, but also way more expensive paper - this is the best paper for writing. I'm actually excited about it! Which might seem weird to some, but I bet some of you are nodding your heads saying, "Yeah, I get it! I know what you mean about finally finding a paper that works perfectly with your writing style!"

The paper is heavier than most "normal" pad and sheet paper. It takes the ink of the fountain pen beautifully, and the pen also flows over it smoothly (I use fine, extra fine, and music nibs). Lighter-weight and/or cheaper-made paper often catches the pen and causes it to skip around. The stiff backing helps a lot as well, and writing on the pad is a comfortable experience from the first sheet (with all that nice support of the other pages underneath it) to the final sheet that has that gloriously heavy backing sheet under it.

I am not a fan of gummed pads because paper becomes dislodged from them too easily. I prefer this style, and the microperforations in this tear easily and, unlike so many other perforated papers, it actually tears on the perforations.

Lastly I shall offer my elitist favoritism toward narrow ruled. I don't know how people can write on wide ruled - I always feel like I ought to be using one of those 1/2 inch thick pencils we had to use in elementary school. And please allow me one social rant: why, office supply stores, is it sooooooooo difficult to find decent paper that isn't wide-lined?

I also prefer the yellow paper over the white version, though their white paper version of this is also excellent. For me, the yellow is a bit easier on my eyes - not so much contrast, and it has less glare for when I am reading off it while speaking.

Love it! love love love love love it.

Best paper I have ever used!  See my other review of the Ebony black.  Carta Bella, please produce more colors in this great Linen line and make the available everywhere!  This paper makes covering chipboard for you albums a breeze and holds up amazingly well if it has to be lifted off Scor-tape if I made a mistake.  Every other paper rips to shreds if I have to quickly lift it off Scor-tape, but not this one! I highly recommend it.  Yes, I'm a real person and, no, I am not affiliated with Carta Bella nor am I a retailer.  Just a very happy scrapper who wants other people to know how great this card stock line is.

I love this paper, and wish it was easier to get in other sizes in semi-gloss. It looks as good as my professionally printed photos (although I also have a great photo printer--it's not the paper alone. . .)

These are such wonderful images to color and I love being able to print then myself.  The medium I plan to use determines the weight of paper I need and I like having the freedom to select whatever I want.

I love, love, love this paper!  I recently bought a Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 Mark II, and that's the printer I used this paper with.  The blacks are very very black, and all the colors are vivid and well-defined!  I'm not a professional photographer, and even with my lay person's eye it was easy to notice a difference between this and the top-of-the-line papers from other manufacturers I have been using.

I inadvertently printed a photo I didn't mean to print, so I decided to splash some water on the print to see what would happen.  I put my hand under a running faucet and then flicked water onto the print.  I let it sit there for about 15-20 seconds, then I shook it off the print.  No color change whatsoever!  I took a flour sack towel and wiped the rest of the water off the print.  The photo is as good as new!  This may be partially or totally because of the Canon Lucia inks, but I believe the quality of the paper plays a part as well.

As other reviewers have noted, the archival length of this paper is unsurpassed.  I couldn't be happier.  I removed most of my other photo papers from my storage cabinet after trying this one.  I would recommend this paper to anyone who desires a very high-quality vibrant print at a reasonable cost.
