Staples Sustainable Earth Sugar Cane Paper In The Uk

[Craigus]

Hi all,

 

I've seen lots of people say that this paper is great for use with fountain pens and is quite reasonably priced, but I can't see it on Staples website.

 

Does anyone in the UK know if it is available, or if there is a similar alternative? (maybe named something different)

 

Thanks

I would like to know that too...

 

But just so you know I have seen reams of Clairefontaine paper for 6 euros in Rouen, France.

Details please . . .

They sometimes call it bagasse paper. Also Sugar Cane Based Paper. You might try a search under that name. I find it an excellent FP friendly paper. Most of my pens run M width, set for a 7-8 outta 10 for flow. No feather or show-through. Of course, I am still running through my supply I bought when it was on sale in California, which was a while ago. I hope you can find it. Here's a USA link. Dunno if it will help at all. Maybe send them an email and see what they say.

Good hunting.

I've found it in the UK. I've thrown the packaging away but it's the slightly brown tinged legal pads usually on the bottom shelves.
