Review: Watercolor works great on this paper - I LOVE this paper! I started using this paper to make my own A5 planner since my perfect-for-me planner didn’t exist. Paper prints easily off my cheap printer for my planner sheets and doesn’t clog the machine. I love how highlighters look vibrant and true to color on this paper too. The paper is slightly thicker than 52 gsm tomoe river paper but thinner than regular printer paper. If you love watercolor as much as I do, this paper works well, blends colors easily, layering is great, and can handle wetter paint (whereas the 52 gsm tomoe river paper dries too quickly and can’t do super wet water washes). There is no bleed thru of the watercolor paints. You will still see and feel some crinkling but not as bad as the tomoe river paper. I’ll add some blank pages in the back of my planner just for watercolor sketches. I think this paper is worth it!
Review: Great paper, horrible packing by desertcart - If all you’ve ever known is American copier paper, this will be a breath of fresh air. … As long as you don’t mind paying for it. Ever so slightly thinner than normal copier paper (0.09 mm vs 0.1 mm) but much smoother. Has a wonderful feel to it. I bought it because I love Japanese notebooks, and wanted to have the same handling experience when I printed stuff on my laser printer. This is pretty close. It’s not quite Maruman or the other premium notebook papers, but it’s nice. It will arrive ripped open inside the desertcart package, as others have noted. I don’t know why desertcart can’t fix this. Only a couple of my sheets were wrinkled though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watercolor works great on this paper
*by M***S on October 22, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great paper, horrible packing by Amazon
*by J***E on February 10, 2026*

If all you’ve ever known is American copier paper, this will be a breath of fresh air. … As long as you don’t mind paying for it. Ever so slightly thinner than normal copier paper (0.09 mm vs 0.1 mm) but much smoother. Has a wonderful feel to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Planners and Fountain Pens
*by M***G on June 16, 2022*

I bought this since I was tired of cutting down letter sized paper to fit into my A5 six ring-bound planner. This paper does not have the holes punched in, so as long as you have the special six ring hole puncher, you should be good! I originally was concerned with how thin the paper is, and was wondering how well it would hold up to the medium sized nib fountain pens I regularly use in my journaling/planning. This holds up very well! It's definitely got some ghosting onto the other side, as this is very thin paper, but it has no feathering and holds the fountain pen ink very well. When I print on it using my inkjet printer (Canon Pixma), the printed parts have ghosting on the other side. I've tested it using my Sailor gold nibs, Pilot, Kaweco, Platinum, TWSBI, and Ferris Wheel Press fountain pens with my Diamine, Robert Oster, Sailor, Iroshizuku inks. IMO ghosting adds character to my note taking/journaling/planning, but this could be a deal-breaker for many! I do have to note that the paper is an off-white color. I was previously using a 32 lb weight printer paper for fountain pens that was this bright white color so I noticed the stark color difference of this pack. This doesn't bother me, but it may be an important point for others when considering their choices. Overall I'm super happy with this purchase. I organize a lot of my life into my planner so this paper will be well loved and used a LOT :)
