When I tested this paper, I put it to the most challenging test(s) I could think of.
There was no feathering or bleed-through with any of the pens or inks using this paper; furthermore, the glitter is beautifully sealed into the paper because it does not come off on your hands nor do you feel any resistance or “bumping” as the nib glides over the paper’s surface. Even my cheap Sheaffer Student, (which has a scratchy nib by nature), felt smooth on this paper.
I would not hesitate to use or endorse this paper. It is an excellent find and has a definite use for festive/holiday occasions. Jill has discovered a great little paper here and while it does have somewhat limited use; it is overall, an excellent paper and one every fp user should have in their supply closet.
This is only my second paper review, so if I have foolishly omitted any critical testing protocols, please feel free to mention them and I will be happy to test the paper again and update this post.

PS: This is about as good as I can get the image to get, btw, the random black lines on the paper are cat hairs, don't ask me how they got under the lid???
PSII: I know in the image I said I would print the rest, but I kept going into my default script mode.
