Review: Good Quality Calligraphy Paper for experienced beginners to experts - I like the feel, texture, size, creamy color and thickness of this paper. It takes a variety of ink types, from dip to Pilot Parallel Pen ink. I rarely get any bleed through or feathering using a variety of pens and ink. When using this for practice I often can use both sides, it's that thick. Another reviewer termed this "thin paper", I totally disagree with that, finding it to be a great weight, good enough for making cards or other creative endeavors. Depending on pen and ink occasionally there can be some scratching of the nib on the paper, I've seen that most using a dip pen. My only quibble with this paper is the way it's bound into the pad, I wish it were spiral bound. When you remove a piece it is difficult to get a nice straight edge on the top. As practice paper I like this much more than the spiral bound Rhodia paper, which costs much more for a smaller sheet, although it does have lines and dots to help letter consistency. I like the Strathmore size much more than the quite small Rhodia. As I get further into learning Calligraphy, and term myself an intermediate, I find I don't need to depend on dots and lines. I'm now able to write a straight line as long as I'm sitting in good position (I do still need to work on consistent letter size). If I'm really trying to keep all my letters consistent in size and in a very straight line it's easy enough to draw some lines on it. All in all, for the price, I'm very satisfied with this paper.
Review: Smoothness - The ink goes onto the paper like butter. This isn’t a beginner calligraphy paper. If you use too much ink on your tip it will bleed through to the next sheet. This is a good paper for someone who has done calligraphy for a while.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for hand calligraphy work or even printing from the computer!
*by M***. on September 18, 2025*

This is my go to type of calligraphy paper for hand or computer printing of homemade cards for family and friends. I just wish they had them in the variety of colors like before. That is a pad with blue, pink and beige pages. Maybe it's still out there and I am missing it! Still love this brand, though, and so glad to be able to get it through Amazon.
