Kokuyo Letter Size (8.5 x 11 inches) KB Paper, 500 Sheets, 64gsm, 80 Bright - Perfect for Printing, Writing and Journal - FSC Certified, Japan Import (KB-L31TN)

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!

I use this paper to make custom inserts and note pads for my Midori Traveler's Notebook. I make calendars, lined paper, dot grid, and graph. It has a coating on it that prevents bleed-through and ghosting of fountain pens. It has a great feel as well. It feeds through my laser printer with no problem, although there is an occasional creased page when printing both sides, I would say this is less than 5% of the time. At 64 gsm this paper is thinner than "typical" copy paper, which means in space-conscious applications like portable notebooks it works well where you can get more pages into the same thickness. The thinness doesn't feel like "cheapness" at all. I would call the color of this paper "cream". It is a pleasing color, but definitely not white. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this paper.

The paper itself is excellent, with an Epson inkjet the look of the ink is second to none as far as standard office paper goes. Also when using a fountain pen no feathering and minimum bleed through was encountered. However the one issue I encountered that was disappointing is the reams were dinged up during delivery. It happens, but when you spending this much for only 5 reams of paper, that is uncalled for. I can gladly report though that the paper has fed jam free through my MFP even despite of all the dinged up corners.

I LOVE Stalogy paper, but I wanted to make my own smaller inserts for my TN. I also wanted to print a 4 mm grid on it. First of all, yes, my paper package was open. However, it shipped in a box and wasn't damaged at all. I think the thin, washi style tape used to close the ream just isn't super strong. Upon removing a sheet of paper, I was impressed with how thin it was. It really felt like my Stalogy paper! Maybe a hair thicker, but very comparable. I put the paper in my printer and held my breath. It printed like a dream! Double sided, even! I quickly put it together into an insert. The color is a nice white, which I prefer so I don't have to buy fancy cream colored correction tape. It is SO SMOOTH to write on! I mainly use gel pens and while there is some ghosting, bleed through is minimal. MOST of my fountain pens did not bleed through, but a few jucier inks did show a few dots of bleeding through the paper. I am very happy with this paper. Yes, it is more expensive, but the number of inserts I will be able to make will be a far greater savings in the long run and they will be exactly what I want.

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 :)

The paper is outstanding! Kokuyo paper is great stuff. Smooth, good for use with every type of pen I own (including fountain pen!). My only complaint is how the ream was packaged. It was sent packed alongside a few other items I ordered, in an envelope with no padding. So the packaging for the paper was split along several corners. Thankfully, the paper itself is in good shape and ready to use! Yes, the paper is a little pricy, but it's also an imported product, so that's expected. It has been absolutely worth the money I spent, just be aware the ream may not show up in pristine condition.

I like the idea that this already comes in A5 size but the paper is quite thin. It functions well if you have pages or so that would be best machine printed versus writing. Easy to use with the whole punch and fits in my planner with ease. I just wish the paper had more thickness to it, feels a bit cheap and the print quality is not that great surprisingly for this brand who I have purchased from before.

Great price, and fast shipping! Will buy again in the future!

J'ai récemment commandé le papier Kokuyo KB sur Amazon, et je suis ravie de mon achat. Kokuyo est une marque japonaise bien connue principalement pour ses produits de papeterie et de fournitures de bureau. Ils fabriquent une large gamme d'articles comme des stylos, des cahiers, des classeurs et des accessoires de bureau. L'emballage était soigné et scellé avec du scotch, assurant que le produit arrive en parfait état. Tomber sur du papier A4 de cette qualité a été un vrai soulagement, car c'est difficile d'en trouver au Canada. J'ai utilisé ces feuilles pour réaliser des copies couleur de mes diplômes. Le résultat a été remarquable, avec des impressions nettes et fidèles aux originaux. Je recommande fortement ce produit pour sa qualité exceptionnelle et sa praticité.

いろんな紙質のコピー用紙が欲しかったので購入。きちんと低白色で満足です。

Ce papier plutôt fin ( 64g/m2) permet une impression de qualité sur imprimante mais aussi d’écrire au stylo plume sans qu’il se transforme en buvard : - l’encre ne bave pas. Les trais sont aussi fins que sur bloc Clairefontaine Triomphe - l’encre ne traverse pas le papier (sauf si on utilise des stylos pour la calligraphie). - les couleurs des encres sont mises en valeur. En revanche les reflets colorés (sheen) n’apparaissent pas ou peu. Ce n’est pas du Tomoe River - il y a un peu de transparence du papier car il est assez fin. Dommage que l’emballage de la ramette ait été déchiré lors de la livraison. Sans dommage pour le papier heureusement.

Good quality paper
