Just got a small pack of the white sheets. Works really well with fountain pens and with dip nibs. But surprisingly sucked with fineliners! But all in all, happy with it and will be back for more! Thanks again for the heads up!

 

EDIT: spelling error

Yeah, it's not perfect, and as we all know ink/nib/paper combinations can often have surprising results. YMMV, as the young people say (they do still say this, yes?).

 

Anyway, glad to raise awareness of this a little bit. At the price it's not a bad deal even if not perfect IMHO.

 

Look at that. Two txt speak things in one post from and oldie! Am I hip or wot?! :)

I went back for a pack of black to use for calligraphy with metallic inks! Loved the result!

 

:lol: I'm not even sure what's 'hip' anymore. My younger sister likes to point it out to me all the time even though I believe people in their early 20s are still young. Also, I had too look up what YMMV meant. Oops. :rolleyes:

      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
