Paper Exchange


Phthalo

Recommended Posts

Hi folks!

 

Several good people have proposed we start a paper exchange programme between FPN members - what a fantastic way to try before you buy! To participate, simply post a reply to this message, and let us know what you can offer, and what you are looking for.

 

Just use this simple format:

"I have:

<list>

I am interested in:

<list>

Contact me by e-mail / PM / etc."

 

If you would like to receive paper samples but don't have any of your own to exchange, you can perhaps trade for ink, stamps or other small items. :)

I have:

 

Japanese notebook paper, 7 x 10 inches, lined. Thin, smooth, and very FP friendly. I think it's similar to Apica paper.

 

I am interested in:

Stationary, or excellent FP friendly paper.

I propose trading seven sheets of my paper for:

- two envelopes & pieces of matching paper, or

- several sheets of paper

I'm interested in whatever you've got!

 

Contact me by e-mail or PM.

This is some wonderful notebook paper that I picked up while in Japan.

I used it to test Nakaya's sample nibs when I visited their shop in Ueno, Japan (Tokyo).

I have a lot. I mean a LOT of paper. I sell the stuff on GouletPens.com. Specifically, I sell Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Quo Vaids, G. Lalo, and Exacompta. I'd like to try some of the comparable papers I keep hearing about and review them on my vlog, Ink Nouveau. I have WAY too much to list, so cruise my site and see what you might be interested in.

 

What I'd LIKE, is anything comparable to what I already have. Some brands I'm interested in:

 

Staples Bagasse

Crown Mill

Crane

Apica (whole notebooks)

Field Notes (whole notebooks)

Levenger Circa (whole notebooks)

...probably more I just can't think of them right now.

 

DM me if you got the goods or if you just have some paper you want me to review on my vlog!

I just placed an order for Kokuyo Campus notebooks today. Is anyone willing to send me a few sheets of Clairefontaine Triomphe ruled stationary (B5 size) ? If so I'd be happy to send some Kokuyo samples in return.

 

PM me if interested.

I have about 4 unused Kokuyo Campus refills and a Lama Li travel journal I'm willing to send samples of if you don't mind possibly folded* paper sent in a letter-sized envelope.

 

I'm looking for samples from:

 

*Eco Vintage Journal

*Amalfi stationery

*EcoPaper - anything, though rather interested in their envelopes.

 

 

I'm rather fond of recycled, no-wood, and "eco-friendly" loose papers, envelopes and journals at the moment.

But I'm willing to consider anything not mentioned here, especially if you have unique or interesting letter stationery, envelopes or postcards. Just send a PM

 

 

*only for the campus paper

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
