Southworth 13C 100% Cotton Business Paper White 20 lbs. Wove 8-1/2 x 11 500/Box

I was looking for a new ream of paper to last me though the year for school and various projects. I was looking for a Bright White paper that would exceed 97 brightness that I could use for presentations. Well during my search, Amazon recommended the Southworth 13C 100% Cotton Business Paper. It immediately caught my attention since I'm studying photography and wood pulp is a big no no in the art world, and the words "100% Cotton", Lignin Free" and "Acid Free" are a huge YES! I went to the Southworth website to read more on their process and quality, and then decided to buy a ream. Once it was delivered, I opened it up and felt the paper and checked the watermark. I then printed a cover page for my portfolio and compared my previous paper to this paper. I was astounded at the level of detail this paper was able to produce. The blacks were "Black", not washed out black, not grey, but Black! Just that alone shows that this paper will be able to produce true rich colors without a washed out look. I can also use this paper for many other things like covering my photographs for storage so the paper will take the elements, and not my work. I can also use this for model release forms so that they last longer and give the client a feel of prestigeness.

I make Custom Origami Mobiles, and years ago when people started requesting All White Crane Mobiles, I had to find some paper that would stay white over time and wouldn't turn yellow over the years. This has been my go to paper for folding white paper cranes. I love the texture, and the weight, and the color is such a pure white. For my purpose I wish there wasn't a watermark on each sheets because I end up cutting the watermark out so it won't be part of the cranes, but for me it's a nuisance I don't mind because of the high quality of the paper itself. :D

Beautiful finish and perfect color. Extremely happy with my purchase and product was shipped very quickly.

I used this paper to print my dissertation. Its great quality. Unfortunately, my dissertation was 270 pages so I had to spend a bit of money to have enough paper to for 5 books. Anyways, it would be great if they sold these in a 1000 pack as well.

I have a project that requires quality archival type paper; Southworth's paper meets my requirements. I am perfectly satisfied. I have ordered this product three times and will order more as my project continues. I started the project in June of 2023 using a different paper. After six months I found the paper was not adequate; I restarted the project using Southworth's Cotton Business paper (archival) and will continue using this paper.

I got this “fancy” and expensive paper to print my dissertation on. I didn’t realize until hundreds of pages had been printed that about every tenth page had a small hole in it. I had to sort through hundreds of pages and then reprint them again. Would not recommend.

ox containing paper was damaged, re-taped and the 20 of the pages are bent and two were marked with a marker. We order the paper for resume printing. The condition of paper received wasn't acceptable. Didn't return, too much of a hassle due to OUR company policy.

was what I expected as I have that product; great price
