Customer feedback highlights paper quality as a strength, while reports about bleed-through are mixed. That uncertainty may matter if you plan to use ink-heavy pens. The listed paper is ivory-coloured and 70 gm², but those specifications do not guarantee a particular pen's performance. The overall rating distribution is mostly five-star, with a smaller range of lower ratings, so it should not be read as proof of uniform experiences.

Mixed feedback
