cheap printing paper

Review by chari : Nice construction paper

I began my quest for the perfect colored paper because I figured it would be easier for my very young son to color on a stiffer paper. I first tried this Tru-Ray Sulphite Construction Paper. It is actually decent paper with the white actually looking like white. The paper quality is also better and smoother than many cheaper brands of construction paper. I should mention that it is 9x12 paper and so a little larger than "standard". Definitely not a minus, but it is something to take note of. Unfortunately, I decided that I would prefer something a little more stiff than its 76lb weight (personal decision and definitely nothing against the Tru-Ray paper) and so have since tried the Wausau Exact Index Cardstock , 110 lb, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 5 Color Pastel Assortment, 250 Sheets (48990). This Wausau 110lb was my second attempt and I have found a winner. This paper is as thick as a thin, store-bought card. I think the colors are also less bright and more rich than they seem in the Amazon image (which is a plus to me). The quality is also excellent with the paper being very smooth (even smoother than the Tru-Ray). If you are looking for nice construction paper I recommend this Tru-Ray. If, like me, you are looking for something a little thicker then I would definitely recommend looking up the Wausau cardstock.

Review by NaNa0708 : Good quality construction paper!

This construction paper was of very good quality and is extremely durable unlike those other cheap kinds you buy at your local store. I bought these for my 2 yr old daughter who loves drawing and she had some metallic crayons that would only draw on black paper. I would say go ahead and purchase it if you're looking for some good quality construction paper at a decent price. Prompt shipping as well.

Review by Tiffany D. White "Tiff" : Very black paper, great for art!

This is a nice black paper, not a faded a little like your usual construction paper. Shipping is fast, quality is great. Can be used with many mediums such as chalk, oil pastels, etc. This is a great price compared to the hobby and art stores! Great buy!

Review by Colleen Finley "macmom" : perfect

I bought these to use for placing over some of my drawings to give them special effects - like using the light blue to give the impression the scene was under water. These have a shiny side and a duller side, so they were perfect for my needs.
