Accent Opaque White 8.5” x 11” Cardstock Paper, 100lb, 271gsm – 200 Sheets (1 Ream) – Premium Smooth Heavy Cardstock, Printer Paper for Invitations, Cards, Menus, Business Cards – 1188091R

This cardstock is great for card making! Very affordable. I have ordered it in 8 ½ x 11 and this 11 x 17 size. I use the larger size to make A6 cards which are 4.5 x 6.25 inches. I can get two A6 cards and one A2 card from one sheet and use the leftovers for smaller things. It is 100 lb or 271 gsm cover card stock so makes a great card base. This size would be perfect for A7 cards which are 5x7 inches. Study. Smooth. Great for many purposes. Highly recommend for card makers. It is a bright white so no yellowy looking cards. Ink goes on nicely and doesn't bleed. It's too thick for my printer so I can't use it that way.

The media could not be loaded. This is a sturdy, heavy paper stock and has a brightness rating of 96. I had previously purchased a 90 lb paper stock but it was no where near heavy enough for my projects. I searched again and I found this. It's 100lb paper stock, but it's much heavier than the 90lb. I think the industry makes it confusing because I think there is "Cover Weight" versus "Text Weight" and that's where the confusion creeps in. It's not always clear which is which. This time, I looked at the GSM weight metric. The 90lb stock I purchased first was 163 gsm. This paper stock is 271 gsm. That number is where I think you can probably find the differences if you need to find heavier stock.For Example—while all paper stocks are different—here is a random example of one paper stock to show how different a Cover versus Text weight can be:100lb Book/Text/Offset 150 gsm100lb Cover 270 gsmBig difference.I was worried that this paper might be too heavy to go through my printer, but it works just fine! I highly recommend it.

I recently purchased a printer that will print 11x17. This cardstock is very high quality and sturdy. I used it to print a chart and was able to lean it against something to stand it up. It didn't need any support. I have enlarged docs and I printed a puzzle picture and the picture came out great. That's very impressive for cardstock. I will definitely buy this again

I originally bought the 120 lb test, and it works great! They were OOS, so I bought this. Works well for my card bases and die cutting!

This paper is THICK!! And so smooth. I bought the 100 lb and I absolutely love it both for printing cards and for art with pencils, markers, etc. It can take a beating with water based markers like Tombow Dual Brush markers without wrinkling or pilling. It takes ink brush pens BEAUTIFULLY. I suspect you could even use this for watercolor, gouache or acrylics like you would any bristol board. I'll update this review when I try that. If you're familiar with Strathmore 300 Series Bristol art paper (yellow cover,) it feels very similar. I don't know if I'd be able to tell the difference if both were in front of me.It's a little hard to fold neatly, it works for a greeting card but I don't recommend buying this if your primarily going to be making things with lots of folds like envelopes. It's extremely stiff. Also since this is an uncoated, non-glossy paper, inkjet printer will have slightly dull colors that are perhaps darker and a little different than on your screen. I think it prints amazing on my Canon Pro 200 considering that. It's nice to have paper that won't suck up ink from my markers and pens like coated paper will. I'll probably be using this as a workhorse paper for my business cards, postcards, etc. It's perfect for so many things!

The 4 star is because of the price. I have purchased several hundred reams for the business. Always receive in a speedy manner. The prices started out good, and every couple months would raise a little. Now it is completely out of price range. On the quality side, it is great. All projects come out clear and vibrant on this cardstock.

Good value. Quality thick card stock.

This is my favorite cardstock for card making. So thick, it gives the cards a luxe feeling.
