New Tomoe River Paper - 68 Gms Pif

[saskia_madding]

Still no word on where to get this in bulk, eh? I am still looking fro a supplier so I can get some of this into my etsy shop for stationery.

I believe I saw someone in the Classifieds section here selling it by the ream (500 sheets) for something like $100 plus shipping, if that's any help.

I might be wrong as I haven't checked the listing, but I suspect the Tomoegawa paper for sale in the Classifieds is standard 52gsm paper, not the 68gsm that Saskia is looking for.

Ah, gotcha. I didn't check the ad out closely, because I have no need for a ream of paper of any sort--just sort of saw it in passing :-).

If you are based in the US, and use the regular size Midori Traveler's Notebook system, you can try these 68gsm Tomoe River papers here:

Only white version available now, but ghosting is improved compared to the 52gsm version.

 

Thanks, Steve. I've seen this on sale at least one other place, but that was in the form of a meeting notebook (as in, a notebook specifically for notes about team meetings and such), which I really don't need. I don't have a full size Midori, but something like this would be great for sampling the paper.

I finally heard from TR. Stay posted.

Good news ☺

[saskia_madding]

YAY. I really want to start offering this in my etsy shop, so I will stay VERY aware of this thread. Thanks Amber!

Taroko is available Worldwide via the Etsy Shop.

I have PM'd him regarding a Writing Pad as I don't use the Midori Notebook but he has no plans to do this.

I don't use a regular size Midori, but I ordered a couple of books for my friend and I to try. I should have them Monday.

 

Will report back...

I've got both weights of paper in journals. Still prefer the 52gsm.

Two questions

Is the heavier weight paper less see through. I love the 52gsm paper, but it's translucent enough to sometimes be a bother.

Does the heavier weight paper hold it's form more? By this I mean the 52gsm is more like tissue paper and when turning pages it is very easy to accidentally fold it over.

 

I love the 52gsm paper, but it was designed for low weight catalogs and the like

The 68gsm is less see through and generally a bit more substantial. The surface is not quite as "slick" with a very slight "tooth".

Ink dry times are a little shorter. Overall I like them both and would like to be able to easily get the 68gsm as well.
