Office Depot Hard Back Cover Business Notebook
Skydiver posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
I just wanted to share that I may have stumbled on some good (not excellent), cheap, fountain pen friendly paper in the form of the Office Depot Hard Back Cover Business Notebook. The highlights are that it's 22# paper, narrow ruled, and bright white. Although wirebound, there are micro perforations... -
Pre-Treatment Of Paper To Reduce Porosity
Gutbucketeer posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
So I have like four dot grid notebooks that were gifts because people knew I liked pens and use dot grid notebooks. The problem I'm having is that they bleed and feather when I use anything other than a fine or extra-fine nib, or a wet ink. I would like to find someway to use them, until I can get... -
TL;DR version: Looking for ink to put in my Pilot Metropolitan - F. Two priorities: won't feather on cheap paper (e.g., AMPAD yellow legal pads, standard filing cards and envelopes from STAPLES), won't smear like crazy when handled once dry (i.e., not Noodler's black). Does such an ink exist?...

My boss has really taken to fountain pens, which is very pleasing, and he's scheming to apply a graphical look to a show he's developing. So he's lately much taken with the look of his Waterman Commando on cheap paper: feathery, bleedy paper. Newsprint! Of course, I'm a paper snob as well as a pen s...

Favorite Pen And Ink For Cheap Paper
jabberwock11 posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I was writing with my Conklin Mark Twain today and just really enjoying everything about the pen from its buttery smooth nib to its well balanced weight. After writing some lines I set the pen down, picked up my Esterbrook J, and walked out the door to head to an interview for a new job (I got the... -
Diamine Registrar's is my go-to ink for work, because it doesn't feather/bleeds through even the cheapest papier. It's quite expensive though, and I've bought some Ecclesiastical Stationery Supplies Registrars, which is three times less expensive (factoring in shipping costs). After a workday...

Hello, if this has been discussed before, feel free to point me in the right direction. :-) We all know whether any given ink works well for you depends on the pen in which is used, the nib size, and the paper you write on, but I am interested in learning what are the best overall inks members kn... -

Hi, I have Lamy 2000 EF filled with noodler's #41 brown at the moment, and I mostly write on HP Laserjet 24lb paper with this pen. Before I used noodler's #41 brown, I had tried noodler's 54th Massachusetts and it wrote really thick on the paper which I dislike. With noodler's #41 brown, it writ...

Hello everybody, hope you are doing well, I'm quite new to this forum and to fountain pens in general. I'm a highschool student who recently got into fountain pens after my mother dug up a bunch of her old Pelikan pens (she lived in Germany) and I absolutely loved it, problem is that it bleeds on al...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the FP network (about 5 minutes ago) and am still learning the ropes of both the network and the fountain pen itself. I am a student in high school and just started using fountain pens this semester and am loving it. I own two Noodler's Ahabs and am looking to get somethi...

In the below picture, the two scraps of paper on the right were cut from the two sizes of printer paper we use in the office, US legal (8.5 x 14 inches) and letter (8.5 x 11 inches). My little Rhodia notebook is next to them for comparison. All the writing samples are with the same Esterbrook; the...

Brian Goulet just made an awesome video on "Back to School", a guide for using fountain pens in school. It's something that I've been looking for and this summer I just got into fountain pens. The video is very informative. http://www.inknouveau.com/2014/08/fp101-back-to-school-shopping.html One...

Just thought I would share my 'find'. These notebooks are available in Dollarama for $2 around here (Toronto) and take fountain pen ink beautifully. The texture is smooth and while there is show-through, there is literally no bleed-through. Both sides of the paper can easily be used. I found some... -
Hello FPN! I'm new here and I know that this topic is a little bit reptitive yet are some criteria the other threads are missing about the question I am about to ask in which I look to get some advice. Like many of the other threads, I am a student in university and being in lectures require me...

The spiral bound Muji notebooks will be coming in soon. Details: selling price is about $... -
Unfortunately, I don't own any Clairefontaine, Rhodia, or Apica paper to compare this relatively cheap paper to. - the "too long;didn't read" version of this review is towards the bottom of this post under "Summary" - I'm new to fountain pens and I recently discovered the ink+paper combination pro...
