This item is manufactured in United States. Review: Good Quality Calligraphy Paper for experienced beginners to experts - I like the feel, texture, size, creamy color and thickness of this paper. It takes a variety of ink types, from dip to Pilot Parallel Pen ink. I rarely get any bleed through or feathering using a variety of pens and ink. When using this for practice I often can use both sides, it's that thick. Another reviewer termed this "thin paper", I totally disagree with that, finding it to be a great weight, good enough for making cards or other creative endeavors. Depending on pen and ink occasionally there can be some scratching of the nib on the paper, I've seen that most using a dip pen. My only quibble with this paper is the way it's bound into the pad, I wish it were spiral bound. When you remove a piece it is difficult to get a nice straight edge on the top. As practice paper I like this much more than the spiral bound Rhodia paper, which costs much more for a smaller sheet, although it does have lines and dots to help letter consistency. I like the Strathmore size much more than the quite small Rhodia. As I get further into learning Calligraphy, and term myself an intermediate, I find I don't need to depend on dots and lines. I'm now able to write a straight line as long as I'm sitting in good position (I do still need to work on consistent letter size). If I'm really trying to keep all my letters consistent in size and in a very straight line it's easy enough to draw some lines on it. All in all, for the price, I'm very satisfied with this paper. Review: Great quality paper - Bought this to use for real ink calligraphy writing. The papers are nice and thick, it doesn't bleed or rip. I love that it has very light lines, which helps a lot.
