Paper For College?

[YonathanZ]

Hi,

 

Im looking for an affordable (ie not Rhodia) paper for college.

 

Sadly the HP Premium32 isnt available in Israel, so Im looking for alternatives.

 

Thanks.

Are you in Israel? Can you order stuff from the EU or USA with reasonable shipping cost? Does Israel have Amazon? I did find this for shipping rates from amazon.com to Israel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=596198 I came across someone who said amazon.de would ship more stuff to Israel than amazon.com.

For reasonable cost probably finding a local source would work best: stationary stores, art supply stores, ... Some people have been successful getting samples from print shops to test, then buying the paper that works best.

Thinking back to the bible, Moses was placed in a basket of papyrus. I have no idea how papyrus paper works for fountain pens, but you can still buy it (at $3 per sheet ).

Good luck.

Is double A premium available in Israel? It is better than most other papers, many people like it.

 

Personally I am not really happy with the paper, fountain pens tend to write rather thin on it. I don't like that, others do. It is fountain pen friendly though, no bleed-through etc.

I'll see if I can find an art supply store, but how will I know if a paper is FP friendly? Surely that's not written on the package...

What are the properties I'm looking for?

 

As for ordering from Amazon from abroad (there isn't a local one), 500 sheets of A4 paper weight quite a bit so shipping would be in the tens of dollars.

 

Thanks.
