Default Papertrey Ink White Paper

Compared to Stampin Up White Card Stock, what do you think of the quality of Papertray Ink White Paper?

I use only the PTI white now. When I first tried it, I was having bleeding issues with my SU WW. I haven't gone back. IMO, PTI puts out some very nice card stock.

I love the Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White card stock for several reasons. I love the thickness and stability of it, especially for card bases. It's less flimsey for card bases than the SU Whisper White CS. I also like it for my Copic markers. Hope this helps!

I like it also. I haven't yet tried watercoloring or gamsol on it, but it is nice and thick for card bases. It is waaaay cheaper than SU also. Plus, when you can get free shipping if you order enough at once. I just stock up on paper if that's all I need from them. Yah, like I "need" any more stamp sets! LOL

I also love the PTI cardstock. For the money, you just can't beat it! I still use SU white for stamping images, but the PTI is the only one I use for card bases.

You can't go wrong ordering any of PTI's cardstock. I buy the white and vintage color from them solely. The quality can't be beat.

I totally ADORE PTI Select White. It's not slick like the SU Whisper White which means inks dry quickly on it. It's also a heavier paper - 110lb vs 80lb.

I've been doing a lot of Prismacolor/Baby oil coloring (what I use instead of Gamsol) on it and it stands up beautifully. No bleeding.

I am hoping to try these Copic markers out soon. I just heard about them and it is great to know they work on this paper.

Thanks!
