What is the weight of the paper used? Is the paper friendly to fountain pen ink?

Not sure -- by comparison, of course in my opinion, this paper is more like Stampin-Up whisper white. It isn't as heavy as PapertreyInk or Ginia K's 110 lb cardstock.This paper is about the same weight as a good index card :-(

yes, the ink can be used for fountain pens. I recommend you have a dropper to transfer the ink.

The heaviest we've printed is 140 lb paper by Strathmore. We also print greeting and post cards; aside of drymounting photo paper to card stock (whose photo quality absolutely can't be beat), the best paper we've found for iP8720 direct printing is Canson Stamping Cards (beats Strathmore's inket offerings hands-down; we found it on Dick Blick's site). I don't know if Canson publishes this specific product's weight, but it's probably around ~110 lbs.

Yes, when it works. It is very temperamental about what weight paper you use in it. I have to use 24 weight in mine or I get constant misfeeds. Buy something better or it will eat you up in ink.

It is card stock weight. The paper is beautiful and I would highly recommend it.

No it isn't, the picture of this looks awesome. When I received mine I was highly disappointed the shine is not as it appears also the embossing is not that detailed. Just so you know also the paper is that very heavy pulpish material.I wanted that style of paper, however if you want to use a fountain pen it's very hard to write and the ink soaks up in the paper. Hope this May have answered some questions.

Use a pen that is fine, and delivers ink slowly. BIC rollerballs are too heavy, and wide nibbed fountain pens are too inky; they'll bleed right through. I use a fine nibbed fountain pen for mine! Perhaps that or a fine felt-tip.

Though the easel pad does not indicate the paper weight, the easel pad sheet feel the same as the typing paper I use, (20 lb) It may be (18lb) . Either way, I am satisfied using this product. Like most papers, it will bleed through if using indelible narking pens, but not with items such as crayola markers. Hope this helps? Roger

32 lb, I think. It's a nice, solid paper for handwritten letters, even Very Important ones.

The paper is very absorbent for inks , so it's great if you have a cartridge or low flow fountain pen, but a standard dip well will probably be too much ink. However its very great looking paper, and shouldn't be too big a problem especially if you put a sheet behind the one you are writing on.Great booklet only complaint is one sided leather.

I just went to my kitchen to weight the pen on a per-gram scale and the weight is 18 grams or 0.6 oz. It's a great pen, feels great when writing and is beautiful.

I have no clue on how much this shipment weighs. I was more concerned about thequality of a Chinese made fountain pen. I was quite pleased with the pen's qualityand that it wrote amazing well considering the price was so low.

I used a fine point permanent marker on it and it bled through, I've never used a fountain pen before on it, so I'm not sure, sorry!

It is a little lighter than cardstock. We printed them with my home printer.

Hello Mohammad, The paper is very heavy and I cannot see ballpoint pen through the paper on the other side. I hope that helps!

The ink color is Black and it is between medium and thin point. I do not lie fine point and somemedium or a bot too heavy or thick, This is perfect.....Such a handy thing to have and carry with you. I would buy it again if the need was here.
