Good Enough Paper For Flex Nib

[burf]

Hi everyone,

I bought a Kanwrite Desire with Ultra Flex nib but it feathers a crazy lot on no matter which paper I use - maybe because the nib puts a lot of ink when it flexes. Can you please suggest a paper that would be able to handle it and not feather?

Thank you.

I was able to contain feathering on rhodia paper from flex nib. But even in that it bleeds on other side.

I use Clairfontaine Triomph for my letter writing. I use a wide range of pens including dip pen nibs which flex like crazy.

I am very happy with this paper.

My Rhodia feathers as much as the local ones.

Yes, excellent performance, but I can't afford it for daily writing practise.

Fair enough.

 

Then look at getting photostat/printer paper with a minimum of 100gsm

I just got Clairfontein Notebooks. 180 pages of 90gsm amd they work fine with dip nibs

 

This picture, from another thread I posted on shows no feathering and no bleeding through at all.

I would recommend JK CEdar 100 GSM paper. It is very smooth and feather/bleed proof in my experience
