Hello,

 

I am planning on binding my own books, but do not want to start with too expensive paper. I want to use the books, though.

 

So to anyone in the Netherlands: which fountain pen friendly copy paper do you use?

 

Looking forward to your replies!

Belgium calling...

 

My experience with Double A Paper is quite good. It should not be hard to find in the Netherlands.

 

Paper One All Purpose is also worth considering.

 

The higher grade HP papers (Bright White inkjet, All-in-One) I think are also fountainpen friendly.

 

The Double A paper has only one single quality but with a lower grade of Paper One or HP there is a terrible bleed.

 

Everything I mentioned is 80-90 grams A4. If I can help you with handwritten samples, please let me know...

 

Perhaps not something you are looking for because you want to make your own, but might be usefull: I'm very found of the Aurora (a different company than the Italian pen manufacterer) linen notebook. A couple of years ago I have started a topic on that but it seems fairly unknown, though not in Belgium...

There are more things in heaven and earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Not much specific to help you from here, but you might want to look for paper that's made from sugarcane bagasse. We get some pretty decent such paper here, from Argentina and from Brazil. I don't expect brand names to help you much, but my experience with a range of papers made from sugarcane bagasse has been excellent, both in notebooks and reams of copy paper. And the copy paper is averagely priced (if that is even a word). I think I've used Double A and don't think much of it. (the Argentinian and Brazilian copy papers I've used are much better).

      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
