Amber which Via papers are you using? Via Smooth?

 

Also what colors?

I am interested in the Cream White, Natural, Warm White and Ivory. I wonder what kind of difference there is between these off white/cream colors.

 

I know I have written on some of these with the co-razy reviews you sent me, but I am not sure if they are smooth or a different finish, and I don't know what colors.

 

Thank you so much for your help! :)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thank you Amber! I thought it might be smooth but wanted to be sure!

 

I can't read very well in the picture, I think at least one said Ivory color, any idea about the others?

Oh also, where is the best deal to get these papers? Paper Mill store is super expensive once you count shipping. Same for amazon and even the Mohawk website.

 

Where did you find them for $5 a ream???!!! Hook me up! ;)

Just expand the pictures, they are super large and super clear.

An Office Max was going out of business. I bought some for $8 and some for $5 and I bought every ream they had. I figured I would use it at the office and I would share and still feel like I got a great deal...which I did.

How do you guys get such wide and clear scan uploads? I attempt to upload a standard notebook page and it isn't nearly as wide or vibrant in the post preview. Are there standard upload scan settings to get optimal images? Thanks.

Chazzy, I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap it is NOT the best for color or clarity --- I think Canon is the way to go for those. Nevertheless, it is the best scanner I have ever used for my office legal documents and the images are just a perk.

I see them, and I am on my phone. I am having trouble with the uploads so you see less new stuff.

I'm sure that the problem was an internet slow down. I've heard you are covered in snow out there.
