What is the weight of this paper?

Weird how they don't put it on the package but I looked it up on Google and found the same product with the same picture at Office Depot where it says it is a heavy weight 27 lb. paper. Typically as you probably know, the average inkjet paper is between 20 lb. and 24 lb.

Is this paper thick enough to withstand coloring with colored pencils?

Yes, it is but this paper only reserve for printing. I wonder why don't you buy the paper for colored pencils?

I'm planning to use this paper for printing business cards, is it useful for that? Do you think I can use it with an hp printer, regardless of epson brand of the paper?? Thanks

I use this with an hp printer and it works great. I haven't used it for business cards, but I don't see why you couldn't. Seems like it would be easier to use pre-scored paper for that, but if you have a paper cutter this would probably work fine.

Has anyone printed on this paper with a laser printer? any success? i'm printing artwork not text.

I used this for photography class so all I used what artwork. Check to make sure this is still double sided. If not, print on the White side, not the yellow side and adjust your levels down by about 20% overall (tones and contrast) for the first print because it'll print differently on different printers. It'll give you a baseline for future adjustments.
