I got a package of paper samples in today, various Strathmore and Mohawk papers in #24 weights and either cream or ivory color which I will be reviewing shortly.
This paper has an absolutely plate smooth finish, very slick feeling and super smooth to write on - no tooth at all. As you can see in the attached scans, there is no feathering that I can see. The letters are quite crisp and clean despite my best efforts to the contrary. As with the other papers I've review recently, I used the three inks that I have on hand with both fine and medium nibs and found the paper wonderfully nice to write on with both nibs. Compared to 'regular' laser printer paper, this paper responds to a medium nib quite well - not too wide of a line. There is no bleed through except in the very thickest lines, and even then all that came through was the tiniest pinpoint. This paper has a watermark which reads "V|i|a". To the touch, this paper does feels a just a bit heavier than #20 copier paper, just enough to be able to tell the difference when I hold one sheet of each in each hand.
This is very nice paper for everyday writing, and would make great journal or pad paper. I'm considering getting some of this to have lines printed on and then bound into pads - nice stuff!
