Paper Checking 5: Tiza Keaykolour

[GatzBcn]

In this review I will review the paper Tiza KeayKolour.

 

First, these are the fountain pen and quills I used:

 

The paper is white, but it has some black lines. It's hard to explain, but I hope it shows in the pictures. It is 100 g and it has no texture.

There was no feathering. Also, the Sailor Grenade is a ink known for its shading and sheen, but it hardly shows in this paper.

It doesn't scratch when writing, but I wouldn't say it writes smoothly either. It dries quite fast, I would say.

The show through is so light that goes unnoticed. However: bleed through. It is true that it was only when using the crystal quill, but still. Also, I spread some drops and they bleed too.

 

Finally, it is not a paper I would recommend. It doesn't feel nice when writing and it has the bleed through.

 

Score: 6

 

If you have any suggestion or question, let me know in the comments .

One thing I've noticed is that, for the most part, fountain pens work better with coated papers. High-density laid samples can work with no feathering or bleedthrough as well, but the overall writing feel is simply inferior, in my experience. Hmm, that's about as condensed an explanation as I've ever given, I think )

 

Anyway, small request? I've been curious about Basildon paper, which a few people have said is excellent. Might I ask for a review of that, or of G. Lalo? Thanks

Yep, I think you are right about coated papers. I think some of them feel like "office" papers, don't they?

 

Anyway, I'd like to take requests, but I have never seen neither of those papers here. However, if I ever come across one of them, I promise I'll make a review of it .
