The paper quality is okay. Not the best I have used but not the worst. It is basically card stock with post card stock. Suitable for drawing or printing from a computer but not for use with water color… which is what I was hoping for. I got these as a way to help my 5 yo daughter start thinking of others and getting her excited to use her talents and skills to lift other’s spirits. The plan is to create post cards with uplifting and encouraging notes for church members and people in our community who are dealing with health or other hardships. They will work for what we want, especially because it for a young kiddo. I took the single star off because I was expecting something like Bristol in the quality of the paper and, as I said, it is little better than card stock.Over all, they are suitable for crafty type things, not for serious art.

I love how this makes it easy to send a little something to my friends and family in other states. I'm in a busy season of life, which I'm sure many relate to, and sometimes it's hard to do much more than a text. But It's so exciting to get mail, and this is such an easy way to send a quick note of encouragement or congratulations or just to say hi. The small writing space, is plenty for a quick note, and then I can do a little hand lettering or use stamps or even draw or print a picture on the other side. Very personalized, very quick. Exactly what I was hoping for.

This set of Utron postcards is going to be used well as I'm in an active postcards group. It's fun to send preprinted cards, but sometimes I want to be creative. I've used gel and fountain pens, crayon, and colored pencil. I've used stickers, and cut and glued pictures and words. These cards can handle it all. Sometimes I have channeled my inner 4-year old, and others I've done a decent job sketching something real.The card are similar weight to tourist ones I've collected, the surface is smooth and easy to draw and write on. As a bonus, they are value priced, so forgiving if I make something too embarrassing to send.

Every year my daughter goes to camp and I send her with blank postcard-sized card stock to send postcards to friends and family with her cartoons, nature drawings and paintings of camp. When I found these, I thought it was nice to have the address and stamp area clearly marked out so she knows where she has room to write that won't get her thoughts covered up with a cancellation mark! These are very thick and high quality matte bright white card stock, so they take marker, pen or pencil just fine, and even watercolor just as long as it's not using too much water and letting dry between layers. Also would work great for letter writing campaigns and get out the vote mailings. I didn't try to put them through the printer, but I would recommend inkjet over laser, since laser printers have a hard time with heavier weight card stock.

This is a value priced set of smooth postcards that work great with a lot of different art media for making custom postcards. They are somewhat lighter weight than similar cards made from watercolor paper, but the paper is solid enough to handle multiple layers of ink and acrylic paint and markers and all kinds of good stuff. What particularly like about this set of postcards (besides the affordability) is that if you like working with dip pens for calligraphy, the surface is nice and smooth and will not snag your nibs.There are so many cards in the set that you can just keep them on the art desk and use them for color swatching and doodling and then work up the most interesting pieces into finished mini art pieces to send to friends. It’s an excellent way to get double benefit from relaxed, art time and color/mark making exploration.At the current price point, they are six cents a card - which I think is very good. Even if they weren’t postcards, they are handy size for art practice. I would not hesitate to repurchase when I finish this set because I like the convenience of being able to use them sketchbook style, but then accumulate sets of postcards ready to go whenever I need them.

I ordered this Utron 94PCS Blank Postcards for Mailing, 300 GSM Postcard Paper, 4x6 White Blank Post Cards to use for mailing original cyanotypes to other photographers.I've been looking for pre-printed postcards that I can use to send cyanotypes to a group of photographers that participates in a regular print exchange. I needed a paper stock thick enough to stand up to automated postal equipment, strong enough to withstand the developing and washing process, and with the proper absorbency to accept cyanotype emulsion.I found that these postcards do a good job at accepting cyanotype emulsion. While they do curl a bit when you get them wet, the do so evenly and without ripples. I had no trouble getting a smooth, even coating on them. They dried evenly. However, if you are drying them on a flat surface (I use screens) you need to be sure that you have not left any areas with excess emulsion, because the curling will cause this excess emulsion to pool in the center of the postcard and will not produce a good print.Development proceeded as expected. Washing, I found, requires careful handling in order to prevent the paper from beginning to break down or the pre-printed lettering to fade. The postcards were quite wrinkled once dried, but I found that putting them under a warm dry mount press got them perfectly flat.The paper that these postcards are made of is thinner than standard postcards. I tried mailing a few to myself. Three out of the five were delivered in perfect condition. One had a bent corner. One looked like it had travelled around the world a few times. To be fair, I've had this happen with other mail, so I can't fault the postcards.I also tried running a few of these through an inkjet printer. I found that running the printer at the highest quality produces images that were inferior to those printed in draft mode. You can expect that colors will be somewhat muted when compared to paper designed for inkjet printers.
