Hello and this a review of Michaels Recollection Cardstock. http://i.imgur.com/CUaRW28.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fdesW4Y.jpg For upclose scans of the sample page: Obverse: http://i.imgur.com/xnG84g2.jpg Reverse: http://i.imgur.com/DyVt6H6.jpg Paper is very white with a very, very fine tooth. Writing with a TWSBI Diamond 580 Fine and a Lamy Al-Star Extra Fine provided little feedback, less so in the TWSBI. No feathering, absolutely no showthrough. Absorbtion (dry time for ink) is almost instant, inks will show up a little lighter than on ink-resistant papers like Rhodia. For other purposes like alcohol-marker coloring, inking with India Ink, or hell even a Sharpie, it holds up with again no feathering, however, the markers do have showthrough, which is normal for COPIC markers. However, there was no bleeding through. What was even more surprising was the little showthrough of the Sharpie marker, and they bleed through almost any paper! This paper comes in both 65lb and 110lb weights and in various sizes, available at Michaels stores as of April 15, 2014. Hope you've found this review helpful and if you have any questions or comments feel free to post them here and Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Evening and Night!
