This paper is what was requested of me to purchase. The recipient was thankful and has been utilizing this stationery.

Paper gets the job done. The only thing I dislike is some glue stuck to the top of the page after ripping it off the pad. Other than that, great purchase.

I like this grid paper but when it came time to print on it using my Epson Artisan 1430 Photo printer, the page would not eject fully and I would have to pull it out of the rollers. Sometimes it would just stop printing in the middle of the sheet, then I would have to press the trash button to get the printer to eject the half finished sheet and restart the printer. Maybe it is the thin 15lb sheet that is the cause. Or maybe the lines on the paper giving the printer a false sense off operation. Whatever it is, I will have to hand write everything on it from now on. Still, it is a good grid paper.

This is my favorite paper for solving problems in my higher level calculus/math classes. The grid paper makes drawing graphs and charts easy and neat. The paper is lightweight, but relatively strong. I’ve never had any issues with it tearing too easily. Also, it’s hole punched with makes it easy to organize my papers in a 3-ring binder.

As an engineering paper (and mechanical pencil) addict, I was pleased with the quality of this paper overall. Will probably order more when my current batch runs out.

I’ve found that I’m very picky about my school supplies and paper is a significant part of that category. I’ve tried a few other brands of engineering pads but this brand is the only one that’s held up so far. The paper is thin so the grid printed on the back shows through just enough to make it easy to trace for nicely scaled graphs and diagrams but it’s not so thin that gel ink will bleed through as I’ve found it does with the other brands. All writing media I use shows up very well, even 0.3mm pencil if I need to do some sketches or non-permanent writing.The only drawback that I have found so far with these pads is that the binder holes tend to rip very easily due to the thinness of the paper. But that can be avoided or remedied by being careful or having binder hole reinforcement stickers on hand.

I find that most engineering paper is too thin and just doesn't feel nice to write on. Those who are fanatics about their writing gear and what not will know what I'm talking about. The margins are also usually way too small to actually be able to freely write a header for your name and class subject. I became obsessed with engineering paper when I started out in Calc classes as it made it much easier to write nice graphs, so I've gone through quite a few brands that are usually just what is provided in the student stores. I opted to order this since I was disappointed with the engineering paper provided in our student store. So, let's look it over!Pros:- Tears off quite easily without the nasty green adhesive bar that gets left on most engineering pads.- Nice top margins that leave plenty of room to write for your name, class, page, ect.- Good weight to the paper; feels quite nice to write on with my Rotring 600 and 2B.Cons:- I don't know if it's since I'm using 2B lead, but I do find that it has somewhat of a smearing effect. Not a huge deal and it doesn't smear THAT much, but my lead doesn't do this on other brands of paper.Overall, I really enjoy this engineering pad. If you're doing any sort of math and love nice, clean graphs, you gotta give engineering pads a try.

Paper is exactly what I wanted in terms of colour, grid darkness etc but is quite thin.

I purchased 2 pads. I have only recently started using engineering pads again. I used them in college, but do not recall the quality of the paper from 20 years ago.These pads have all the features I expect.1) light green paper and is low glare. - Very important for me as I get older.2) Top margin is 1/2 inch. - Seems good for me.3) Right margin is about 9/16 of and inch. - Seems good for me.4) Grid area is 7" wide by 10 inches Tall. - Just like I remember5) Grid is just visible from the front even in poor light. It is faint enough so it is not distracting from the drawing and calculations. - Perfect to me.6) Erasing of HB pencil marks is easy and does not compromise the paper or the grid on the back side.There are a couple of issues, which may be big for some.The top margin line is not always right on top of the top grid line. It is right on for some and on other pages, from the same pad, it is off by as much as 1/32 above the top grid line. This is a very minor/non issue for me. I never mark right up to the margin anyway and only noticed it when I decided to make a overly precise review.The side margins seem to be pretty consistent and are always within the thickness of the lines. No more than 1/64 off on the pages I have checked.I am using them for calculation and rough diagramming of problems, so precise alignment of the margin and grid do not affect me at all. I am very happy with them and I will definitely buy them again.I thought about 4 stars, but chose 5 as it is perfect for my use and is relatively cheap. The issues I found are nit picking. I would not have even noticed the margin issues except that I decided to do an OCD like review.My exact star level would have been 4 and 31/43rd stars, which rounds to 5.
