Review on πŸ“¦ Darice GX-2200-06 Core'dinations 50-Piece Card Stock Paper: Premium Quality 8.5"x11" Sheets for Crafting & Scrapbooking by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If you are a paper snob, this product is not for you.

Advantages: Neat cardboard. Worthy is the keyword. Passes well through the printer. Cons: Not bright white. shiny hand. Light weight for 65# paper. Notes: I bought this paper to complete a large project. I've read other reviews and didn't think the comments about this paper not being "genuine white" mattered. Until this happened. I used Wausau Papers Astro Brights 65# white card stock. When I pulled this Darcie product out of the box they didn't compare at all. Astro Brights were true whites. Like a white Playtex bra 18 hours right out of the box. Brand new slim white. Darcy's paper, which was filed against Astro Brights, actually looked "dove gray". I was just finishing a big Girl Scout project and had to convince myself that different shades of white for 50 daisies and brownies didn't matter, I even thought it mattered to me. Darcy's paper wasn't as heavy and fibrous either. It looked shinier and brighter. No different than the frustration of making the switch to microfiber towels after organic cotton. So now I'm a paper snob. If you are too, don't buy this paper. You will be very disappointed. If you just need to get on with life and print, this paper will do. But at the +$8.50 I paid I don't feel like it's worth much.

Pros
  • Paper
Cons
