Review on 📄 Springhill White 11” x 17” Cardstock Paper, 110lb, 199gsm, 250 Sheets (1 Ream) – Premium Heavy Cardstock for Greeting Cards, Flyers, Scrapbooking & More by Amber Perez

I am an avid colourist. I use colored pencils for coloring. As a layman, I didn't want to color in some of the books I bought because I still want to learn and practice a lot. I started copying my books and after trying different types and weights of paper I ended up choosing this paper over all the others I tried. It has outperformed paper in coloring books 99% of the time. I wanted paper that could be erased if needed without destroying the entire tooth of the paper. Whilst I now try to just use a Faber-Castell box which removes pigment from the page, I also have a Tombow eraser and an electric eraser which I can use to remove small details. I also wanted paper that could have many layers of pencil applied to it. Being a beginner I always had to add color to get the desired result. pictures and never want to repeat them. This book had a smoother paper and I liked it in terms of both the pen job and the end result. So I bought two other papers to compare with this one to see what the real difference is. I bought a very bright white paper of the same weight as this, 80lb Hammermill Premium color copy paper and 67lb Exact Neehan Bristol vellum paper. This review compares three colored pencil papers. Being an amateur and not an artist, I colored the same page from the book "Wild Soul" by Grazio Salvo. I mainly used the Lyra Rembrant Polycolor Oil Crayon and some Tombow Irojitens and Prismacolor Verithins, both wax based. I used the same pen colors and tried to keep everything the same when coloring three different sheets of paper. I was really surprised by the result. Except for two points, this paper was the best paper for colored pencils. The hammer mill was the brightest white. This paper is jammed in my printer but not the other two. Otherwise I would recommend this paper for all comparisons. In the photo of all three, this paper comes first, followed by the 67 lb. Neeham Bristol parchment paper, and the Hammermill paper is shown last. I defined the paper around the edges and also drew lines to show where I used different blending methods. this document than the other two. Hammermill's smooth paper just didn't take that many layers of paint. (I actually added two more layers with this paper so 8 layers total!) There wasn't much of a difference between the 67lb Bristol parchment and this Bristol parchment so if money is important the 67lb is Parchment significantly cheaper. When I look at the result on this paper, I see many places where I have to go back to adjust the color. With this higher weight I can easily do it. For the background I also tried three different blending methods: Gamisol, a Caran d'Ache mechanical pencil and a white Lyra pencil. Gamisol (odorless white spirit) had the largest area in front of a woman's head to the top of the page. Because this paper is thicker, I didn't have to worry as much about the liquid mixer. It goes very well with this method on this paper. At Hammermill I had some residual pigment at the tip of the cotton swab so I removed it instead of blending it! The lower corner under the tiger's nose is not shaded at all. The area in front of the tiger's nose is shaded with a white lyre pen. When shading, the color lightened a bit. The best result was behind the woman's head where I used Caran 'd Ache full color pencil. This pen actually feels like you're applying wax as you blend. As a result, pencil lines were eliminated and a deep blended blue color was obtained that completely soaked the paper. While there were significant differences between the Bristol Vellum and Hammermill papers, the difference between the two Bristol Vellum papers was fairly minimal. As this paper was my first and the other Bristol Vellum my third coloring of the same picture, I expected improvement even in such a short time. Indeed it was, but the improvement had nothing to do with the paper, just the person using the paper! Even with occasional paper jams, I like this paper very much. So far I have copied over 450 pages for copying. (I use the second batch and half of it is already lost.) While making these practice copies, I copy on both sides of the paper. All three papers performed well for double-sided copying. I would encourage you to try different types of paper if possible as a lot of this can just be personal preference. From my point of view, using this paper has only made me more critical of the paper used in most adult coloring books. The price for 250 sheets is quite reasonable. This paper was cheaper than identical paper from other manufacturers. Without a doubt, this paper will become my first choice when copying pictures for coloring with colored pencils. (I also think this paper would be preferable for wetter media, watercolors or markers as it is thicker and doesn't bleed as easily. The papers are the same weight.)
