Comments about Paper Store 24/7 Onion Skin White Paper - 8 1/2 x 11 in 9 lb Bond Smooth 500 per Ream:
This paper is wonderful for fountain pens. It is hard to find and it is great it is here. The finish is smooth, it doesn't bleed and makes ink pop. I wish it came in more colors. I am certain any writer or artist who needs onion skin paper will find this meets their needs beautifully.
BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

[Tessy Moon]

I saw that review too!

 

It is on my wish list now!

I think I might pick up a sample pack of that Onion Skin in the next couple weeks.

[amberleadavis]

Maybe we should pitch in a buy it. The shipping is the same cost as the paper.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, but if it gives sheen, I'll take a couple of sheets if someone wants to sell me some.

This thread is amazing. I had no idea there was such a variety of sheen out there!

[Abner C. Kemp]

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but Montblanc Honore de Balzac exhibits quite a nice red sheen. Definitely one of my favorite inks overall, if only Montblanc could offer it as a standard option.

I see on Sach's list of sheeny inks (on page 12??), that there is a question mark next to Private Reserve Blue Suede. I have used this ink with no sheen visible for a little while (really love the colour) but last night I was writing a letter (Sheaffer diamond fine nib - no sheen) and decided to write the address on my envelope with a copperplate dip nib… I was so excited to see the sheen forming as the ink dried!!

 

 

I started a separate thread about my discovery but thought I'd come and add it to this thread as well. The sheen is really lovely.

Awesome Callique .... I had no idea about Blue Suede..

 

Here below is my sheen comparison... I always stated that BlackStone Red Cashmere can kick Rouge Hematite out of the park.... proof below.

 

Red Cashmere is a deep dark red, the whole thing sheens like crazy on most papers...

Claudia!!!! Is this awesomeness available somewhere???!!!

[Callique]

Yes, Cyber6, I'm curious too, I tried to google Red Cashmere ink and I'm not coming up with anything...

It is the powdered ink from Australian company JustWrite. Some of us have been testing it, but it's not on the market yet. It's called Susemai powdered ink.

Well... actually the real name is BlackStone... SuSeMai was the "Code Name" (Super Secret Maker of Ink)

 

 

 

The BlackStone Powder Inks were unveiled during the Toronto Pen Show (follow the link in my signature) ... they will be soon on the market. They are the most amazing inks with the most amazing properties. Lots of reviews and testing on the Inky Thoughts thread. Look for Red Cashmere, Blue Cashmere and Black Cashmere,

 

If you feel like you need them NOW... drop a line to Kevin at JustWrite.com.au and gently beg for it.

Thank you!!!!
I can wait, no problem with that, but I'll keep this on top of my list for sure!
My next ink will be the Pen&Message Cigar when it comes back on stock.

That onionskin paper is gorgeous! I think I'll buy some to offer in my etsy shop for pen pal letters, if it holds up for printing like the reviews say it does!

Just want to say I love this thread and spend a good deal of the time I should put to studying and working on papers scrolling through these many pages of SHEEN. Here is my contribution to this hoard. They are ink splatters of Namiki Blue which has this beautiful reddish sheen (strangely reminiscent of ballpoint ink) taken with a cell camera.

Been lurking for a while now, but I have to say that sheen's so good that I just sent him an email asking for samples. Oh man. Good thing I live in Australia...?

I was messing around on some cheap paper with PR Black Magic Blue, and look what popped up! (Sorry for the potato)
