Tomoe River Group Buy (Toronto)

Recommended Posts

*** CLOSED since we have reached our 2 x 4000 limit! Thanks everyone for the interest! Will open if people drop out.

 

Crossposted from the Paper & Paraphernalia section. :D

 

Hey pals this is a group buy/interest check for Tomoe River A4 52gsm paper (white from here: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-shikisai/item/50602/ )

It costs $105 CAD + ~$150 CAD shipping (TBA) for 4000 quality pieces.

 

Which comes to $31.87 per batch of 500 sheets.

 

PRICE LADDER (per 500 sheets at each tier=4000 sheets.)

1) $31.87

2) $22.50

 

So ideally, we get more local pals to sign up, we get a better deal :).

 

Feel free to split ream costs with your local friends as well! This paper is super nice, smooth, & light; I'm interested in it for book-binding and making my own sketch paper! A large majority of fountain pens and inks do not bleed or feather on this paper. It's the same stuff that's in Hobonichi journals. I'll make a post later once we get enough people to commit at a good price. THIS IS TORONTO-BASED, I can deliver the paper during my time off this semester/we can schedule a meetup!

 

If anyone knows how to order 68gsm in bulk, let me know! So far it's only 52gsm; ideally it'd be 68gsm since most people I know are artists and prefer a bit thicker paper, but I'm perfectly happy with 52gsm too. We're getting a fairly good rate at the moment.

 

If you're interested, please add your information in the google document; it's only a solid interest check for now: aka, you're generally committing to your interest, but if you need to back out of your purchase later then please let me know ASAP. This will be open until the maximum of 8000 pages is reached (due to shipping weight limits).

      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
