I saw a thread on not participating in InCoWriMo, but I am participating. I thought it fair to hear from our side. I need reasons to use my pens, and letters are my primary way. I have pen pals. I am using the Travelers Notebook calendar insert Weekly and Memo. I have succeeded at InCoWriMo i...

I've been reviewing a few Diamine sheening inks (Diamine Hells Bells/ Master of Puppets [to be posted]). I've noticed: 1) That on super sheen/shading provoking papers: Midori/ Tomoe River 68gsm, sheen is minimal with natural light (unless ink is laid thickly). 2) On Rh...

Zanders Gohrsmühle Reflex paper skipping mystery
jthole posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
Recently I bought some 100gsm Zanders Gohrsmühle paper, and I am noticing something strange. All of the Chinese pens I have (Asvine P20 Medium, Asvine V126 Fine, Majohn M800 Medium) skip on that paper (but not on the Clairefontaine paper I mostly use) and none of my European pens skip, so far. It do... -
Hi all, I have been using Rhodia Webnotebooks for my journalling for Some Time now, because the paper in them is very good for fountain-pen use. But I have been toying with the idea of buying one of the notebooks produced by Lamy, not least because I am drawn to their 8mm line-separation w...

Thought I'd share this because Maruman is one of my favorite stationery brands, particularly their Mnemosyne line. They've released a journal with a similar form factor to Moleskine, and the colors are strikingly similar to the Sailor TUZU line. Some eye-candy:...

I was up in Boston, MA last week for a conference and snipped across the river to the resurrected Bob Slate Stationers in Harvard Square where I picked up a notebook from a Danish outfit called Notem. I have yet to crack the small one I got, but was wondering if anyone here had any experiences with...

Scientific American Article From 1959, On Ink-Nib-Paper Relationship
TenBladeSummitar posted a topic in Th-INKing Outside the Bottle
An interesting article from Scientific American New Scientist (edited - thanks to those who pointed out the error), 1959, outlining the history of the development of quick-drying fountain pen ink, and how the ink and paper interact to influence perceived feathering or line spread. It also is clear h...- 15 replies

Like everyone else, I’m looking for the perfect paper to start off the new year - not too big, not too small, not too thin, not too thick, and so on.

Hi guys and gals. I've had a bit of a rummage around the forums but cannot find much information on Chinese Rice Paper (xuanzhi). Just bought a package of 38 sheets on the internet to trial it. Have heard that it is good paper for brush calligraphy and so I am hoping it may be suitable for fount...

I currently use 52gsm white TR paper. For me it is too thin and flimsy.... and shows through more than i would prefer. I love Clairefontaine Triomphe paper but it is too heavy for multi-page international letters. So what's in between? I prefer white that's able to show sheen and shading. Blank...
