Pacon® Plain Newsprint, 8 1/2" x 11", Ream Of 500 Sheets

Delivered in shrinkwrapped packaging. Fed through my Epson inkjet printer with no issues Exactly what I wanted. New coloring books have slick paper good for pencils not crayons. Perfect for printing coloring pages. Crayons look great on this paper. . This paper is not white. It is very light newspaper grey.

I use this for quilting. Works amazing for paper piecing! I have rubbery material that won't slide properly through my machine. This helps tons & tears off without pulling my stitches.

I print so many items that I don’t plan to keep forever and this is cheeper.

I purchased this newsprint as a cheaper alternative to paper marketed for foundation piecing (quilt making). As I suspected it seems to be the exact same paper but with this you get a whole ream for cheap as opposed to the quilt shop variety that only gives you 100 sheets for about five times the price. It works perfectly in my printer.

My kids (ages 6 and 7) go through a ridiculous amount of paper. I was trying to find a more affordable and better-for-the-planet option than our usual ream of drawing paper, and landed on this. It's okay. It's a grayish post-recycled/unbleached offwhite color. It's fine for sketching, it makes great packing paper and papier mache paper. It's dangerously thin for enthusiastic scribbling, and not suitable for markers or paints or heavy-handed stamping. But that's hardly even relevant because my children HATE it and used up all the light-colored construction paper in the house before they would deign to use it at all. They say it's too thin, too fragile, too slippery (not sure what that one means) and hard to use for cards/stick puppets/etc. We HAVE found uses for it: it's good practice paper for origami, it's really quite excellent for chromatography experiments, it makes good garden mulch, it's great wadding/packing material, and it cleans glass beautifully. 4 stars for being pretty much what it claimed to be. But we will be going back to buying good, white, 60lb+ sulphite drawing paper, and the earth (and our budget) will simply have to cope.

Exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. I use inexpensive newsprint for quickly drawing an art project idea or scribbling a phrase or verse for use in a greeting card. These quick drawings aren't done with care, just a quick sloppy sketch so I don't forget the idea then redraw with more thought and care on appropriate sketching paper later. For me, this has enhanced my creativity without wasting my money.

I use this paper for Foundation Paper Piecing quilt blocks. It goes through my HP inkjet printer without issue. It is just the right weight for paper piecing stitching and removal. It tears easily so is a tad too light for my 4 year old granddaughter to use for drawing.

Good stuff

Not quite A4 so be careful if this is an issue for you, otherwise marvellous newsprint for typing on or drawing on. Don't even think about using fountain pens on it though. It's not designed for that purpose. Highly recommend.

The paper is lightweight and the perfect size to use for quilting scrap squares. I leave the paper attached to the material until it is time to use the squares. Not what most people would use it for but it is perfect for quilting scraps.

Great

I have just discovered Foundation Paper Piecing and this paper makes it sew (pun intended 😉)much easier. I goes through my Epson Ink tank with ease.

Just what I wanted perfect
