I've used this paper for many months in my mixed media projects and is a great replacement for art tissue paper, which is way more expensive. This paper is great quality. It has a rugged face and a glazed one. The size is a bit over A4, so I trim it to use it in my ink-jet printer to print elements that I then integrate in my artwork. I use one sheet at a time, though, otherwise the paper gets jammed or just doesn't separate well. The paper prints beautifully even when using a normal printer and average settings. When I use it with matt medium, I have to be careful because, if I use the rugged side up it can rip apart, something that doesn't happen when I use the glazed side. This paper is a a bit thicker than tissue paper, too, so trimming the edges of any motif is important as, otherwise, there will be a 'halo'. I don't use this paper for calligraphy or with liquid ink, so I cannot comment on that. I buy this paper over and over again. Great value for money, too as this set cots just a little more than the single package.
I
bought this paper not knowing what to expect as the page info seems to
indicate that this paper is specific for Japanese calligraphy. However,
I got what I was looking for -- a good quality rice paper that I can
use in my mix media projects. It has a soft face and a textured back,
which makes it versatile for different art projects. The paper stands
well ink-jet printers and I got good quality printing results despite my
printer being an average home printer.
The only downside is the
sizing. See my photo with an A4 paper sheet against this paper. This
isn't important for calligraphy, drawing, collage paper making, or for
transferring. However, isn't a good size for printing, so I had to use a
guillotine it to get the right A4 size for printing.
For the rest a great versatile rice paper at an affordable price.
