This is the 2nd of series of reviews resulted from my quest to find the best, most fountain pen friendly stationery (letter sheets). (See also https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...howtopic=46221)

 

Pen used:

Pelikan M200 0.8mm stub by Richard Binder Noodler's Luxury Blue

 

 

This is a very economic package deal which includes 50 letter sheets, 50 note cards, and 50 enclosures, all with blind embossed interlocking script monogram, and 150 matching envelopes.

 

 

When I tried the letter sheet initially I was very excited because it seems the paper is very fountain pen friendly. So I ordered blank sheets in case I need a second sheet to finish a letter. The plain letter sheets feather quite a bit, which lead me to believe that their paper quality is inconsistent. When I tested the foldover notes and the enclosures they also feather. Unwilling to give up, I ordered another set of letter sheets in pink, ink also feather on those sheets. Guess I just got lucky with the first batch of letter sheets.

 

 

Their paper is nice and thick, but the down side is that it is too thick for ruled line sheet to show thru and personally I still favor the thinner sheets for letter writing. Just doesn't seem like a "letter" anymore when the paper stock is so thick (more like a large piece of thin greeting card material fold in half).
