Loose Leaf Paper For Fps

[mke]

I am using loose leaf paper but it is a bit thin. I weight my papers - they are all between 70 and 80g/m2.

I cannot use every pen I have. With some of the nib/ink combinations, I couldn't write on the backside. Too wet.

Thickness is certainly an issue but I haven't checked yet the surface to see if they are all similar.

 

Anyone of you has had good experience with a certain brand (and fountain pens)? Please tell.

Thank you

I use the A5 20 hole / B5 26 hole type as well as A5 and A6 Filofax spec ( 6 hole ) loose leaf .. typically I buy Kokuyo 6mm ruled , but especially their 5 color set which seems to work fine for me though I must say I seldom if ever write with a B on them. Tomo River paper of these size can be had also and they generally work quite well. I do know sometime with a Fude nib and Sailor ink even the Tomo River can yield to the load though .. I suppose if the ink volume start to over power the surfacing / sizing and the paper itself then nothing can help

I just found a ream of recycled all-purpose (copy/print) paper based on sugarcane, 20lb (75gsm) from Argentina and it is very good, it seems. Mark Autor. Not much else to tell.

I use the Kokuyo A5 ruled paper. They work well for daily writer but I'm only using F and M nib.

 

When I brought a pack of the Kokuyo Campus High Grade Cyo-bo to a local pen meet, they seems to like it.

Never used them extensively since I only use A5 binder.

I found a loose leaf paper which fulfils part of my wishes.

"The writing cannot be read from the backside."

 

It is from the Japanese maker Maruman and is a bit more expensive - only a bit:

It is 80g/m2, the cheaper ones I have are 70 g/m2 and Kokuyo's are 75 g/m2

 

Writing on it feels really different, my JoWo #6 steel doesn't glide as smooth as on other papers. I don't know yet why.

HP Premium 32 is awesome. It's 120g/m2 and has a wonderful finish.

It has no lines on it.

If you find an unlined paper that you like, you could use a guide sheet, or print your own according to your line width preference.

This. I prefer unlined, unruled, undotted, ungridded paper so that I can design & print my own to my liking. I've even had great luck with the lightweight TR paper running through the printer -- duplexed.
