This is very high-quality paper with pleasant hand-feel, but it''s also a little too light and there''s a glaring watermark 6" wide on every sheet. It''s so apparent that it''s distracting, even if you aren''t holding the paper to light. Don''t take my word for it, this is the standard (and only) linen paper at Office Max and Office Depot, check it out for yourself. If my document is so important to merit linen paper, a prominent advertising mark is the last thing I want on it. ''Neenah Paper 05221'' is functionally identical at a lower price and with a smaller, more subtle watermark.

I have used this fine paper for lots of important documents. Resumes, business proposals, thesis paper, final reports, and even for more important work reports. 24lb is perfect almost all applications that I have come across. The texture and feel of this paper are outstanding. It is also very versatile which can be attributed to the very white color and excellent texture.

The only downside that I can find to this paper is the fact that the "Southworth" trademark watermark is not in the same spot on every page. Most were centered very nicely but a few sheets were positioned towards the bottom and some even having the last bit cut off on the bottom. It''s nitpicking but to some people this may be a problem. The watermark is also very noticeable on some pages and on others not so much. Hold the paper to the light and you can see the mark but put the paper on a darker surface and it stands out like a sore thumb.
