I'm in Britain, so I'm especially interested in UK viewers' experiences.

 

Someone posted a great recommendation on here a short time ag o, but I'm damned if I can find it. Hence this request.

 

Thanks all.

Hammermill makes Oxford Optic 90 g....don't know if that comes in sheets. Is very good paper in booklets or spiral notebooks and black and red books.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

 

 

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

Not sure about the UK, but here in the US I like Hammermill Laser Print. (I haven't tried their Color Laser Print, which might be okay, too.) Nice hot press finish, very smooth and dense.

 

The usual suggestion is for the HP Premium Laser paper, which is also quite nice. I prefer the Hammermill slightly, but either is very good paper.

 

It makes your printouts look nice, too!

Thank you for those recs.

 

I should've clarified what I meant about preferring UK comments by pointing this out: Obviously, many brands will also be available internationally.

 

So all and any views are welcome.

I second the HP 24+ lb laser paper. Is not expensive nor utterly thick. Definitely get 30 lb or more if flexing, though.

+1 for HP laser papers. The 24 lb paper is perfect for most pens as long as they aren't too wet. The 32 lb is even better for wet pens, but is more expensive and quite thick.

I find any type of copier paper works well with my medium nibbed MB pens.

Office Depot 100% Recycled 80gsm is exceptionally good, if you do not mind slightly off-white.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
