Review on High-Quality Hammermill Cardstock: Premium Color Copy, 80 lb, 8.5 x 11 📄 - 1 Pack (250 Sheets) - 100 Bright, Made in the USA Card Stock by Shantel Griffin

In the past I have used Bristol Vellum 100lb paper to color in pages with colored pencil. I recently used a different paper in a book that was lighter and had a smoother surface. Like the result, I bought different types of paper to experiment with, including this one. If you color and download pictures and print or print copies from your exercise books, then the type of paper used for both makes a difference. This review relates to this market and may not apply to others. If you use colored pencils I hope this helps. The papers compared are Hammermill, Springhill 80lb Bristol Vellum and Exact Neenah 67lb Bristol Vellum. This Hammermill Premium Color Copy 80lb paper has less dent or texture than the other two. This makes a big difference in the coloring as you can see in the photo. I used the exact same pen and tried to do everything the same when coloring. While this Hammermill paper has the lightest blue background in the background, it actually has two more layers of pencil of the same color. Both Bristol Vellum papers with different weights had a darker result with two smaller layers of paint. Also on the background I shaded different areas using different methods. Behind the head and up on the side I've got a caran' d Ache Full Blender Pencil blended. In the largest area at the top of the paper in front of my head, I used Gamisol (white spirit) for mixing. In a small area in front of the head towards the tiger's head I shaded with a white pencil (Lyra, an oil based pencil). In the bottom corner below the tiger's head, I didn't blend the background at all. I tried to mark these areas in the margins. Using Gamisol on this paper got a lot more pigment onto my Qtip, which lightened the background even more at this point. It didn't remove pencil marks or work differently than textured paper. Gamisol worked best with 80lb Springhill Bristol Vellum Vellum. With the full Caran d' Ache hand blender, I have again achieved the best results with the 80lb Bristol. This blending method worked best for this paper compared to Hamizol or white pencil. Penned with a white pen, this paper again gave the worst results. I know I used an oil based blending pen, but this was the only pen where I could see the white lay on top of the blue, rather than lightening the blue as it blended. Again, the heaviest paper works best with a white pencil. I didn't feather the bottom corner of the paper so you can compare how it looked before feathering. With this paper, the pencil almost slid across the page. You can still layer with colored pencil, but you just don't get the depth of color you achieve with the other two papers. I was able to blend enough to show some of the contours of the face, but the paper just doesn't hold up to as many layers as I normally use for skin coloring. Where this paper was head and shoulders better was in color. White isn't always white and this one was the brightest white. So if that's a factor, this one wins by a wide margin. Although 80lb Bristol Vellum jams in my printer about once every 35 pages or so, this 80lb paper has never jammed in the 50+ copies I've made with this paper. The paper advertises that it does not jam, and from my experiment this is true. The 67-pound paper didn't clog my printer, but since I only made about 20 copies with it, I don't find that convincing. If you look at the hair you will see that it looks darker on this paper. I used the same 7 pens in pretty much the same order when coloring my hair (highlights, shadows and then generally I prefer to color my hair). I don't know why I got a darker shade here as opposed to the background which looks lighter but it must be because only one color was used for the background and 7 colors for the hair. Perhaps because it doesn't blend so well on this paper, the most recently used colors show through the most. With the jacket, where I used two shades of green and a medium grey, I got completely different results. (I can't add a 67lb paper to the comparison, since I accidentally used a darker colored pencil which obviously resulted in a darker result.) Bristol Vellum paper of the same weight only got darker. From my experiment I was able to draw a conclusion. This Bristol parchment paper, whether 80lb or 67lb, has more teeth, allowing you to apply more layers of paint. These papers are best when using a colored pencil. All papers performed quite well. My advice to colonists is to try different paper weights to make an informed decision on what works best for you. As with most things, you may find that you like something else better for your purposes, and which paper you like best is partly a personal preference. If you hate paper, you can always use it for normal printing. While I don't know if I have the patience to repeat this test on other papers, I'm glad I did it here. Even in the rush to color it took a bit and I know the rush meant no end product, but I tried to judge the paper and not my craftsmanship on the end result. lThat's my apology and I'll stick to it! ) I used Tombow Irojitens, Prismacolor Verithins and Lyra Rembrant pens. multicolored.
