Springhill 8.5” x 11” Canary Yellow Colored Cardstock Paper, 67lb Vellum Bristol, 147gsm, 250 Sheets (1 Ream) – Premium Lightweight Cardstock, Vellum Printer Paper with Textured Finish – 036000R

At the time I ordered this paper, there was only a few dollars difference between the one-pack, and the eight-pack. There were also some reviews from customers who complained they only received one 250-sheet pack of paper instead of eight. So my curiosity, and a desire to take advantage of a possible bargain, made me click on that 8-pack button. The order arrived today, and sure enough, I got 8 packs of pink cardstock. Probably more than I can use up very quickly, but I often print things that don't necessarily require a particular color of paper, so this is fine. I can't get over how cheap I got all this paper, so I can't complain.I have ordered bristol vellum cardstock before for use as drawing paper, or for printing out coloring sheets. I bought some 67 lb white paper sometime last year, and really like it a lot. After I ran out, I decided to try the 80 lb bristol vellum, and liked that even more. Since the cost was so low for the pack of paper, I decided I would order some more of the 80 lb white. While I was at it, I thought I would try the cream and pink paper even though they only came in 67 lb.I noticed that although all the papers were the same brand, and supposedly the same finish, the pink paper seems to be noticeably smoother than either the white or the cream colors. The white and cream paper is definitely "toothier", with a look and feel closer to drawing paper. The pink looks and feels more like traditional lightweight cardstock. There is a bit of texture there which is noticeable when I tried out some pencils on the paper, but it seems more subtle than the white and cream paper I ordered (same brand).The color of the pink paper is very close to the color I see on MY computer monitor, but somewhat warmer in tone. Mind you, that the color you see on your computer or device may look quite different than what the paper is in real life, depending on your particular screen. I wouldn't say it was a very pale pink; it leans more toward Pepto-Bismol Pink, but a lot warmer (but not peach either). I really love this shade. The warm pink seems to be really soothing to the eye and spirit.Now, one other thing I need to mention--the term "bristol vellum cardstock". That is a very specific type of paper.The word "vellum" throws off a lot of people who buy this kind of paper expecting thin, translucent paper. That would indeed be "vellum", but "bristol vellum" is an opaque paper with a slight to medium "tooth". Likewise, those expecting "cardstock" have been disappointed because the paper isn't thick enough. I think that the pink paper is definitely suitable for homemade cards and other crafts, but again--some people may prefer heavier and smoother paper. There is something called "bristol" paper which, again, is a different type of paper than "bristol vellum". Bristol paper is usually the type of smooth, thick drawing paper used for dry media and ink drawings.Anyway, to be sure you get the kind of paper you want for your project, please read the descriptions very carefully. You can also go online and find very detailed description of the various printer paper that is available.Also check and see what kind of paper is best for your particular printer. I have a HP Envy Photo 6255 inkjet printer, and both the 67 lb and the 80 lb paper goes through with no problem. The paper is labeled "digital", but really, I've had no issues with smudging or blurring as long as the design as long as make sure the ink is dry before trying to color or paint over it.For use with art and stationery supplies--even the 67 lb seems to be a pretty decent mixed media paper. I did some testing with colored and graphite pencils, and this paper really works well enough for layering and burnishing. Markers, felt-tip pens, and fineliners seem to work fine, but expect any alcohol marker to bleed through. You can use a tiny bit of water to activate watercolor pencils and other similar media--Derwent Inktense, water-soluble crayons, graphite, etc. You could even try various inks (depending on what brand it may or may not feather) . You might try accenting your drawing or design with Japanese gansai paint, or gouache paint, but It's not really suitable for actual watercolor painting. You could try using using a watercolor medium on there first (which I didn't want to bother to test), but the media itself could cause the paper to wrinkle and buckle.Overall, I do prefer the white and cream paper better than the pink, both for the texture and for the more neutral background for artwork, but the pink is very pretty and I shall find some good uses for it.I think the 8-pack was sold as clearance since Amazon now has this option (for this color) as "unavailable". At any rate, I'm not going to need printer paper for YEARS.

This cream cardstock will be perfect for the church projects we are working on, but the inner packaging was torn completely around the paper. It's a miracle the paper wasn't damaged except for a tiny corner on a couple sheets. What a mess!

Cover stock is hard to get locally so the price is almost double, but it is what it is. Delivered in reasonable time undam.

First of all, I think this is great cardstock. Second of all, their shipping, and it may be Amazon's fault, was pretty lousy. I ordered two reams of cardstock of two different colors and for some reason they were shipped in two different batches. One arrived a few days later and had been put in a bubble mailer. That one got somewhat demolished with some of the corners pushed in. I'm make small booklets and I need square paper with good corners. The second ream came a day later in an Amazon box with a small air bag in it. The paper still was able to rattle around in the box but surprisingly was in excellent shape. I've ordered paper before from different companies and I've had rather mixed luck in getting it to my house in good shape. I wish I could buy this paper here in Albuquerque but most retail paper companies have gone out of business here. Well, anyway, the paper itself is quite good.

great paper

I love (loved!) this paper. But over double the price?? I know prices have gone up but this is ridiculous!!

I made story white large flowers with it for a party. They very sturdy and the flower holds up great! I will buy again.

Great value.

The ream was already teared open in the box when I opened the box, this could not have happened during shipping, impossible. Not a bit of bubble wrap around the ream so the ream was tossed in the box during shipping and damaged the top papers of the ream, see closeup. I print stamp album pages on these paper but cannot use the first 25 sheets because of the damage as I sell these pages online. I did not want to return the ream as I needed a few sheets urgently and the ream was already opened and I was not sure if a new shipment would not be the same or even worse....Product reviews are good for people who want to buy but it is time that Amazon starts to look at those reviews as well, otherwise this will go on and on....and we get scraps all the time.Nice paper though, I use an Epson Artisan 1430 inkjet printer and no problems with picking up the paper and the result is good. (but it is also a good printer...)

Recieved in a timley manner. Paper is of good quality but very disappointed in such a strong color variance. I ordered the canary yellow as it is shown to be a soft pale yellow. The actual color is very yellow, more like the Goldenrod swatch. I now have a bundle of paper that can't be used for the intented project.

Bought a pack of these papers for my arts and craft project as I made decorative 3D flowers to put as a backdrop on the wall. The thickness is good, but the colour does not match the picture as it is a lighter and slightly warmer shade of grey when compared to the colour advertised. Also, the paper is quite sheer and you can see the paper blotches when you hold it up to the light. Overall, it gets the job done and is great for art projects but I wouldn't recommend it for printing/professional use.

I LIKE IT. I WANTED TO HAVE DIFFERENT COLOR THAN WHITE FOR BACKGROUND FOR ADULT COLORING..WOULD BE GOOD FOR CARDS AS WELL. WAX BASED PENCILS ARE GREAT. GEL PENS MOSTLY OKAY, SOME BLEED THROUGH . PUT A MATT BEHIND AS YOU WORK TO CATCH ANY BLEED THROUGH. CRISP LINE EDGES ON SUBJECT SURFACE..MOST GEL PENS I HAVE DO NOT BLEED THROUGH..

Great cover stock for court transcripts. I’ve not found anywhere that can come close to this price. Others commented it smudges. That certainly isn’t my experience using a laser printer. I will definitely be ordering more.
