Neenah Classic Crest Smooth
120 gsm/80 lb text in "Natural White"
A very smooth paper that has a wonderfully fluid feel, though I've found that gel pens, inks, and watercolor tend to take a bit longer to absorb into the pages.
*Used in "writing" journals like Midnight, Flowers
Neenah Classic Stipple Finish
120 gsm/80 lb text in "Bright White"
This paper has a texture and toothiness, allowing pencils, in particular, to have a satisfying scratchiness. Pens and inks can skip a bit on this paper.
*Used in "sketch" journals like Forest
Strathmore 400 Series Cold Press
300 gsm/140 lb
The Strathmore 400 Series is not 100% cotton, but is still strong enough to hold quite a bit of water. It folds more easily than other watercolor papers, which makes it ideal for watercolor journals.
*Used in Fig Village watercolor journal
