Apparently not available in the US. But I'm willing to bet it's cheaper to ship than tomoe.

 

Thanks for the intro.

It's a great and - in Germany - very affordable paper.

I use it daily for office work.

 

It is lightweight but not as smooth as Tomoe River.

Found it on Amazon UK. Tried a sample (incomplete) order. Total cost was $89.49 shipped for 2000 A4 sheets (4 reams). So less than Tomoe.

Wow! Great find, I need to keep my eye opn for this. Currently I use Papyrus Opti Premium 90g which is good as well, but heavier, than this.

Good review, thank you.

 

I have both the 60gsm & 50gsm papers & they are pretty good with fountain pen inks. I write on both sides. But it is a little utilitarian, so for me it's perhaps more suited to office/note-taking purposes than personal correspondence. I think I'm spoilt by Tomoe & other silky textured papers.

It's good value though.

Just re-checking Amazon (US), find it still available for $20.88 + $10.00 shipping, full ream (500 sheets).

Guess I better order mine right now!

I am briefly reviving this thread some five laters later, merely to confirm that the Clairefontaine smart print paper (60g version) is (a) still for sale (btw, the packaging of the ream that I bought looks exactly the same as the picture in the OP), (b) still affordably priced (approx. EUR 7.5 for 500 A4 sheets, bought this week in Brussels, Belgium), and (c) genuinely fountain pen and -ink friendly, I have just tested several pens and inks, including india ink that gushed from a steel nib. Thanks again to @Noihvo for the valuable tip 👍🙌

Thanks for bringing this paper under our attention again. I haven’t used it yet, but it seems quite good value for money. Need to try it out for myself. Where in Brussels did you find yours ? I’m located in Leuven myself, not too far away.

      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
