Excellent quality paper.

I find this paper so perfect to write on. I make 'commonplace' or note books with it.

Just trying the Heritage white

Having used the ivory paper with some success I ordered some white. It has a very different feel to the ivory, which is smoother and feels more compact. The white is more like good, thin, cartridge paper. Both are good value though.

Great effect

But a little delicate when covering boards

Heritage Archival Paper

Good value sheets that can be cut down and folded with the correct grain to give almost A5-sized sections.

Light and Dark

Disappointing, because what is called "Light So-called Light Green" is actually a very dark green, although the picture does show a darker shade. I needed this to re-line an old victorian album which has a pale blue- green one. Might use the grey reverse side instead!
And the postman took the parcel to the dreaded local depot!!

Good paper for book-making

This reasonably priced paper proved to be good for folding and cutting using a paper knife. I would have preferred a lighter weight option as sections are a little bulky at the fold but it works. Well packaged and delivered exactly when I asked - another example of good products and service from Hewits.

Good quality paper

The paper is clearly good quality but it was a bit brighter and whiter than I had hoped

Colour Range

This is a very attractive, durable paper for use as both covering (boards) and end-papers. The pity is that is now only available in one color - please give consideration to going back to the original range which was fantastic.

A versatile and attractive paper

This is a very pleasing product. It looks very good as either endpaper or as covering paper for boards. Sadly, it is no longer available in red or blue and one hopes that these shades will become available again.
