Q: Has anyone written on this paper with a fountain pen ?

I have, and it was fine with both a Fine and a Stub nib, both inked with fairly wet inks (Diamine Polar Glow and Montverde California Teal). No feathering or bleedthrough, and it's smooth enough that my nib didn't drag or scratch. There was a bit of ghosting, but this paper is thin enough that you can see through it to the page behind, so that's to be expected.

Q: Whats the difference between this and the southworth fine business paper, 25% cotton, 20 lb, white, 500 sheets (403c)?

The 24 lb. paper is a little thicker and heavier paper than the 20 lb. For our office use these days I use the 20 lb. for letterhead because it is light, and the 24 lb. (in ivory and white) for important documents such as Last Wills that will be around for a while and should have a little more heft to them. Sometimes if I have a sheet of 20 lb. 25% Cotton Business Paper sitting on my desk, I have to pick it up to look for the watermark to make sure it's the "good" paper and not just a sheet of regular all-purpose paper, if that gives you an idea of the weight. The 24 lb. paper has a slightly different finish than the 20 lb. and occasionally I have a little bleed with the 24 lb. when I use a large, bold font like 16 point with my old Dell inkjet printer. When I print in 12 point Times New Roman, which is what I use most of the time, I have no bleed. (I have no bleed with the 100% cotton 24 lb. paper.) I hope this helps. Any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Q: Whats the difference between natural, and the white color of the paper? Is one better for something else?

"Natural" is basically a very light shade of ivory, definitely not a bright white like bleached white paper. Personally, I find ivory "too yellow" for really any purpose, but I do prefer the somewhat warmer color "natural" for most correspondence and resumes, and white for "documents", broadly speaking. In my optinion, white is much better for most printing that could involve color, unless you're careful to match the color(s) used to the yellow tones of natural and cetainly ivory paper.

Great paper for interviews, resumes, thesis printing

I have used smaller sized packages of this paper for resumes and job interview portfolios. This paper is of excellent quality and works great in my home HP OfficeJet printer (with the paper type set the professional/best quality/slower setting). I had purchased this "bulk" 500 count paper for doctoral thesis printing. This worked excellent.Advantages1. The paper has an smooth, yet heavy feel beyond your standard office paper. It is free of blemishes.2. Printed text looks sharp (even on my home printer). I have had less issues with smudging and jamming using this paper.Disadvantages1. You can feel the difference between the 25% and 100% cotton business paper. I am not sure if this makes a difference in overall printing quality.2. Each page of paper does have a Southworth watermark with logo covering around a third of the page. The watermark is only visible when held up to light, but the fact the watermark is so large makes it easy for an individual to notice (and to see if the watermark was printed right side up -- a pet peeve of mine).
