Typical cotton-ish paper.

I'd like to make a special note that, the colours on this paper turned slightly softer than other white papers, in the direction of my preference.

Turned out, you can forever lift colours off just by water and a gentle touch of tissue. A saviour for a person who does "oops..." every other second.

...only if it didn't cease production...

Seems like "Strathmore" isn't done with business or anything. But the one I tried, from Holbein's Paper Collection, was probably the 500 Imperial. Which was the high-end model, and this, they stopped making.

Sad.
