I noticed the OfficeMax website had a sugarcane paper, and since we've all had such good experiences with Staples Sustainable Earth sugarcane paper, I decided to try this one since Staples doesn't offer an unlined paper so far as I know.

 

Sugarmade Multipurpose Paper is only available on the OfficeMax website. Through midnight tonight (March 3rd) you can get 20% off your order using the code BIGLEAP (all in caps). I received it in less than 48 hours from the time I ordered it online! I was amazed! I happened to order it on a day when OfficeMax offered free shipping as well. As a result, I got this paper for less than a penny per sheet. Normally it is $49.99 per case. It appears you can only buy this paper by the case.

 

Details:

 

Weight: 20 lbs.

Brightness: 92

Fiber: Sugarcane & bamboo -- acid-free

Sheet size: 8.5"x11"

Package size: 500 sheets

Case: contains 10 reams (or 5000 sheets)

Origin: China

Paper website: Sugarmade

Where to buy: OfficeMax website only

 

 

I like the bright white sheet and it's a good smooth paper. None of the inks I tested bled or feathered. Show-through on the back was very minimal, even though this was quite a thin sheet. No bleed-through, either, with any of the inks I tested. The only other unlined sugarcane paper I can compare it to is Caliber 100% Tree-free Multi-purpose Paper from CVS (which I've been using heavily for the last 6 months without complaint). The Caliber paper is slightly rougher/toothier and not nearly as bright white as the Sugarmade. And the Caliber has more show-through than the Sugarmade, despite being the thicker sheet. Of the two papers, I'd have to say I prefer the Sugarmade one, though both perform well with fountain pen ink (and inkjet ink, for that matter). And I think fans of Staples Sustainable Earth notebooks will find Sugarmade ranks similar in performance.

      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
