Kokuyo A5 KB Paper, Paper Thickness 0.09 mm, 64gsm, 80 Bright (ISO), 500 Sheets, FSC Certified, Pack of 10 (KB-30N)

The paper itself is excellent, with an Epson inkjet the look of the ink is second to none as far as standard office paper goes. Also when using a fountain pen no feathering and minimum bleed through was encountered. However the one issue I encountered that was disappointing is the reams were dinged up during delivery. It happens, but when you spending this much for only 5 reams of paper, that is uncalled for. I can gladly report though that the paper has fed jam free through my MFP even despite of all the dinged up corners.

This paper is A3 long grain. Typically A3 paper is short grain, and this may not be what you expect if you are planning to print books on it. It was, however, perfect for my use case. Also it is 60 gsm weight means that it is thinner/lighter than standard copier paper (usually 70 - 80 gsm). Again, this was perfect for my use case and why i bought it.It is a bit brighter white than I would prefer, but it id fit for purpose.

I use this paper to make custom inserts and note pads for my Midori Traveler's Notebook. I make calendars, lined paper, dot grid, and graph. It has a coating on it that prevents bleed-through and ghosting of fountain pens. It has a great feel as well. It feeds through my laser printer with no problem, although there is an occasional creased page when printing both sides, I would say this is less than 5% of the time.At 64 gsm this paper is thinner than "typical" copy paper, which means in space-conscious applications like portable notebooks it works well where you can get more pages into the same thickness. The thinness doesn't feel like "cheapness" at all. I would call the color of this paper "cream". It is a pleasing color, but definitely not white. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this paper.

I LOVE Stalogy paper, but I wanted to make my own smaller inserts for my TN. I also wanted to print a 4 mm grid on it.First of all, yes, my paper package was open. However, it shipped in a box and wasn't damaged at all. I think the thin, washi style tape used to close the ream just isn't super strong.Upon removing a sheet of paper, I was impressed with how thin it was. It really felt like my Stalogy paper! Maybe a hair thicker, but very comparable.I put the paper in my printer and held my breath. It printed like a dream! Double sided, even! I quickly put it together into an insert.The color is a nice white, which I prefer so I don't have to buy fancy cream colored correction tape.It is SO SMOOTH to write on! I mainly use gel pens and while there is some ghosting, bleed through is minimal. MOST of my fountain pens did not bleed through, but a few jucier inks did show a few dots of bleeding through the paper.I am very happy with this paper. Yes, it is more expensive, but the number of inserts I will be able to make will be a far greater savings in the long run and they will be exactly what I want.

Repurchased this paper several times it real good quality.

The paper is outstanding! Kokuyo paper is great stuff. Smooth, good for use with every type of pen I own (including fountain pen!). My only complaint is how the ream was packaged. It was sent packed alongside a few other items I ordered, in an envelope with no padding. So the packaging for the paper was split along several corners. Thankfully, the paper itself is in good shape and ready to use!Yes, the paper is a little pricy, but it's also an imported product, so that's expected. It has been absolutely worth the money I spent, just be aware the ream may not show up in pristine condition.

The outer cover of the 500 sheets of paper was completely torn in multiple places, this was knowingly sent in a horrible condition with some of the paper edges bent. Very, very bad first impression.

The product is great. Paper is as it always has been. However the packaging and shipping left a lot to be desired. My ream came busted out of the paper and because it was just packaged in a soft bag, there was nothing to keep it from getting damaged in transport.However the Kokuyo business paper is a dream to use. One of my favorites. Not quite the fussy Tomoe River paper, but a step up from ordinary copy paper and not as thick as some papers so you can pack more into a planner.I'll order again, but wish they'd do a better job packaging the ream so they don't bust open.
