Hear, hear, if this this the wove textured one with "Royal" watermark, here's why I like it:

 

- it's white, Asa Gao looks a beauty on it :wub:

- it's thin and slightly translucent to show the texture - definitely doesn't look like cardboard (aka HP Premium 120gsm or similar)

- very FP ink friendly

- although textured, you can easily write on it down to Japanese F / EF without scratching or catching / dislodging fibers

- it looks refined and elegant

 

 

Here are some pics of the paper, showing texture, translucency and watermark. Sorry about the white balance, the paper is actually *white*.

Thank You so much Amberleadavis!

 

This is an ultra informative thread.

 

Everyone should be aware of the importance of using fountain pen friendly paper.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Napalm, that should be Royal Laid.

This is a cool, and useful thread. I read through all the samples, and I don't think I noticed any HP laser paper. I was thinking about getting some of the 32lb for binder use. Any experience with that, or another well-performing paper I could easily buy a ream of in the US? Some of these papers look really nice, but are unfamiliar to me, possibly because they are European.

Unless I say the paper was from BoBo Olson or it is a Tomoe River, Fabriano or Miquel Ruis paper all are easily available in the US and can be purchased by the ream. Miquel Ruis paper is available at Barnes and Noble in notebooks. Most came from my purchases when I found sales - some where at a screaming deal of $5 a ream. I bought every ream I could at that price. I paid the most for the Royal Marble and the Green Laid that were intended for my stationary.

 

The WORST performer is the HP Color Laserjet paper you see above. It has the Geek Products Logo on it.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
