I chose this card stock for it''s parchment appearance and heavy weight. It may be just as good as available stock at one of the box stores, but I prefer it already. It was used to make a card, and it was translucent enough on a light table to be able to trace and ink precisely. Fine point permanent marker absorbed quickly, with no bleeding. I''ve had no opportunity to try it as an inkjet or or laser paper.

I have an HP laser printer at home and got this paper to use with it. While the weight of this paper is excellent, the laser printing wipes right off the paper! No good. It is also more of a silver than gold parchment.

I purchased this paper for it''s parchment look and heavy weight. I used it to make the programs for my upcoming wedding and they turned out great! I used a laser jet printer, (only problem here was I had to print one at a time as the card stock is so thick any more than one page at a time would get stuck in the printer) cut out hearts (two per sheet) and glued the two sheets of paper together onto a popsicle stick to make my programs into fans for our guests, as we''re getting married outside at the beginning of September. The paper worked great, was no problem to glue together, and didn''t run or smear the ink. Great price and great quality paper. Thanks!

I used this cardstock for most of the paper products needed for our wedding (everything but the invitations and save the dates). We used it for programs, welcome letters, escort cards, table numbers, menus, and favor tags. It was easy to use in my home inkjet printer, didn''t smudge, and held both black and color inks beautifully. I tried it in my office''s laser printer, and it did smudge. I don''t know if that was the fault of the cardstock (which is smooth), or the printer. But since it''s easy enough to do at home (especially with the replacement ink I also bought on Amazon), I didn''t mind doing everything at home. It''s a nice weight that holds up just fine for uses like table numbers (they weren''t in a frame, just the card itself in a holder), and folds nicely (I used a bone folder, but probably could have just used a ruler) for the programs and welcome letters.

This is very nice, hard, paper. We used it as a certificate for a completion of a camp. The black ink printed very nicely on it as the paper was not too dark. It also is stiff enough to not make it looks cheap. The camp was western themed so this paper fit perfectly with that theme as it resembled the color of the old "wanted" signs of the wild west. I will be sure to re-use.
