Comments about Staples Cover Stock Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", Gray:
I bought this product to use with gray cardstock that I purchased at a Staples store. I was disappointed that the gray color did not match the gray that is available in the stores. This gray was much lighter than the gray color that is in the stores. The colors were not even close. The weight of this online cover stock seemed to be less than the weight of the cover stock available in stores. I ended up having to return this for a refund. I was able to do the return at the store which was easier than shipping the item back.

Q:
i see the product is vellum. does that mean its the shiny material? i need bristol paper that is not shiny but simply smooth, which is good for colored pencils.
Vellum is a transparent paper, which is usually used to place on top of another paper. It has a little sheen to it, but I wouldn't call it "shiny". colored pencil should work on it, but most pens won't.

Vellum finish is a smooth look but slightly textured finish. This finish is the best for colored pencils.
