I am considering this paper for field notes, can one use a pen or pencil and can this be used in an inkjet printer? Thank you in advance.

Works great with a laser printer and also with sharpies. Have exposed it to over a year of Michigan weather and no fading. Not compatible with inkjets.

This paper takes pen or pencil well. It is designed for use in laser printers rather than inkjets.

Technically it's just paper, so if all you want is a reasonably nice notebook, you can write on them with anything. You just won't get the benefit of the pen's ability to record what you're writing.

This is partially dependent on the ink, but for the standard blue that comes with this, there's no bleeding *through* regular paper. I take notes with mine and it's just fine. It's a little difficult to write on the back of the page, though, because you can see the writing on the front (not much, though). Slow writing is actually better for this as long as you don't stab the paper with your pen (or otherwise apply excessive pressure).

Maybe. Firstly, many inkjet printers are designed for home use, so they don't accept paper larger than 8 1/2 x 11 in the tray. These are 12 x 12 sheets. You can cut it down, but rough or uneven edges is asking for a printer jam. Second, you'll have to make sure your printer can accept cardstock, because this is twice as thick as regular printer paper, and sending stuff that's too heavy for a printer to handle can seriously damage it. And last, but not least, this plastic is completely slick on both sides. Ink may not transfer or hold very well on it. All in all, I would suggest you look at finding some 8 1/2 x 11 transparency film like the kind they (used to) sell for overhead projectors before considering this as an option. A lot of those are specifically designed for inkjets.

I use it with my inkjet printer. I would use Epson or HP Premium Photo paper for top quality, archival photogaphs. Hammermill is an inexpensive way to produce excellent quality color brochures and handouts, in my opinion. I have NO idea what they might mean by "digital" paper for this product. It looks like a bright white, smooth, cover stock.

I have never tried to print on these sheets with an inkjet printer, I believe a permanent, indelible ink is necessary. Good luck.

Entirely my opinion from testing and experience, I like paper with some weight to it such as Bristol,vellum Bristol, watercolor, or for mix media or dry medium. But try any paper your curious to try it on, it might be different for you. How you blend/use the markers is a definite factor. For example, I can use high quality paper but if I don't understand how to blend/use the markers, it'll still come out bad. Hope that helps!

You can write with it -- yes. It will take a little getting used to and I would not expect to use it as a replacement for pen and paper. But it works well enough for me.

You can, but be careful about what pen you're using, or it'll smear (the 'paper' is a bit slick/waxy). Maybe get an extra so you have one to test out pens on?

I have the same issue with laminated paper and these pens. I use rite in the rain paper for my job and you can not use the Sharpie pen with that type of paper. If you are constantly writing on laminated paper use a regular ball point pen. These pens are nice on everything but a paper that has an inability for ink to set in quickly.

I have used many reams of this paper with my Epson inkjet printer. It works great. I can't speak for a Canon but I can't imagine the results being any different. My Epson is a duplex printer and I use this paper using that function often.

No it won't work. The ink will smear. I tried to do it from work so it would be faster but the hot basically ruined the paper

If you look in the reviews, you can see that we are very disappointed with this paper, with some sets working, and others will not transfer. If you write with a pen, you must press very HARD. I doubt a stamp would work. I would check each set in a corner before starting out. Probably best used with a typewriter.

I have used this paper with both laser and inkjet printers. When using an inkjet, I allow the page a minute or two before folding and have never had an issue with bleeding. However, I have not tried to immediately fold a fresh print to test for bleeding. I don't expect it would, as the cotton content in the paper soaks up the ink and allows it to dry.

FYI When using cardstock paper just like the other comments always put regular paper then place your cardstock n top of your regular printing paper. However if you print lots of power point project try printing each page one at a time. When I tried to print 5 pages I would get an error message after the first page. If I print each page separately I get far less error messages. Yes it's a pain, but when it's midnight and you need to print your presentation you do what you have to do to get the job done.

I know the pen must have the paper, but I don't know if the ink is special or not. When the ink is fresh it's nice. It's when it gets old that it's harder to use. Sorry I can't help you more.

I use mine with both pencil and cheap government issue ball point pens. For pencil, I use a mechanical pencil with softer lead then normal, costs the same just have to get it from a office supply store. Pen, I use cheap ball points and every now and then I a spot the pens don't write on but rare. If you try to write in the rain, cheap ball points don't work.
