Bought it for use with fountain pens. This paper can handle fountain pen ink with absolutely not problem. 500 sheets at this price is better, in my opinion, than spending money on fancy paper like Rhodia, Clairefontaine, or even Tomoe River paper. Need it to be lined? Well, get a loose-leaf template online and print as many copies as you want - it's still printing paper after all.
For printing, though, I don't like this paper. I have a very cheap printer I just reviewed negatively, and it seems this paper is too good of quality to work well in that printer. Go figure!
This paper does have some texture to it. I heard that the 28lb is discontinued and that the 32lb has a certain glossy coat to it. I might try getting that too, but based on what other fountain pen users say, it's a bit of overkill when the 24lb paper does the trick and at a much lower price point (and with quicker drying time I think).
Either way, if you're into fountain pens, this is the way to go. I got a bunch of very wet writers, and there's no feathering, ghosting, or bleeding on this paper. You can get your double-broad, juicy Montblanc and write down one page, and then flip it over and it looks like you got a fresh sheet of paper (unless you hold it to the light, of course, then you can see a faint shadow of the writing on the other side). GET IT.
