I wonder if anyone has found a really good paper to write on with a fountain pen, I managed to get a Nikon pocket day book. These slim notebooks are limited to registered professional Nikon photographers. It's the same size as a moleskin. It has black leather-like covers. The week to a page is on the left, with facing lined pages. The notebook is divided, with a calendar note section, followed by a generous supply of note pages. The back cover has a pocket which holds an address book. There are 2 black page marking ribbons. The paper is off-white, a light ivory colour, and the pages are very fine, light weight. The book is signature bound. The paper takes fountain pen ink. It doesn't bleed. This is the nicest paper I've written on. I'd like to get more paper like this. Does anyone know where more such paper can be gotten from?

You may have better luck posting this in this section:

As for the paper you describe, the paper sounds similar to the paper in Maruman brand cover notes note book, cream colored, ruled, light weight and extremely smooth finish, I don't know how fountain pens write in them I just saw them at the store.
Does it have any markings, writing on them at all, maybe someone can decipher the markings/writing even if in Japanese to see who made these for Nikon.
I collected a few Japanese journals, and they all have exceptional paper. Apica is a good one to try and you can get them cheaply and readily from this ebay sellers.

The paper may not be as nice as what you have now, but many here rave about them.
