Not suitable for all uses

I think these sheets are school supplies. My goal was to create a fictional ancient document (using calligraphy ink and pen) as part of a framed artwork, but I found the ink mixed poorly from each letter and spread across the cracks and ridges of the fiber. In addition, the webs were spotted with holes because the layers of cross-plied fibers were not tightly bonded. For some projects that wouldn't be a problem, but for me it was definitely affected. I finally found excellent papyrus at an art store that wasn't much more expensive and had a smoother, denser surface.

Pros
  • GREAT PIECE OF ARTWORK: Enjoy a fantastic experience with our Egyptian paper as you feel the latticework of the papyrus stems to see how the sheets are made, it doesn't curl as it dries quickly and settles Easy to flatten and can be used for art projects, scrapbooking, school story projects as it takes ink well and rolls up well.
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
