Okay, here’s a brief guide to help you decide on whether these notepads are for you. The 4x6 blank pads are a medium thickness, similar to printer paper but maybe a bit smoother. The adhesives holding each pad together were intact on my order and there were no damages or defects. They make for handy pads for those who want to take quick notes or like to doodle/draw. They take ballpoint pens and pencil just fine. You could even give these to kids with crayons or colored pencils and the paper would handle that medium nicely as well. Fine liners, such as Pigma Micron pens (felt tipped) work great. The attached pic shows the front and back of a doodle I made using a Micron 02 pen, just to show you how it handles those. If you like to use ink dip pens, fountain pens, technical pens, such as Rotring Isograoh, or any roller ball ink pens, such as Uniball or Pilot pens, the ink is going to bleed through. The ink will also bleed through if you use heavy markers like Sharpies, or coloring markers. Overall I wanted cheap but decent pads I could sketch and doodle on without feeling guilty if I decided to throw a page out, and these notepads are just right. Read more

These are scratch pads, but we use them as note pads, for more than incidental purposes. As scratch pads, they are OK, but they're designed to be cheap and disposable. Good quality rolling writer pens like these pads, and they grab the ink quite nicely. There are quality problems in the adhesion of the cardboard backing, however. When placed in a small portfolio, the backing comes off, leaving the pad disconnected from the backing, which makes the pad unuseable in business meetings, where a professional appearance would be important. So, i've replaced the unruled pads with ruled pads of a higher quality so that doesn't happen. We've become quite fond of unruled pads because of the implicit limitation of the lines doesn't interfere with our writing and drawing. It's much nicer to write on a fresh, blank piece of paper. I wish that there might have been a higher quality plain paper pad available with better bonding quality. If so, i would buy it. So, these are ok for what they are meant for, so that makes it ok i guess for its intended purpose. Read more

Great product but I wish you can still make the backboard more heavy and sturdy to keep the writing and memo papers more stable. I also wish if you can bring a paper count option for 100-200 page memo pad that would be more useful for my needs. Still great though. Thanks. Read more

Buy it! This paper is great. I used to use this paper in college for notes. This is great paper. Good for taking notes or, if you what, write letters. The paper is strong enough for a fountain pen. If you use a fountain pen, which I do, it will not bleed on to the page underneath it. However, it is not so strong that you could write on both sides of one page. You can, but it is something that you can see thought when your writing on the back. Yet, it is possible to use this if your writing to do lists and you don't mind if you see the writing on the back. It is great paper. I will continue buying it. Read more
