Acid- Free Paper In Muji High Quality Easy Open Notebook A5 Dot?
cursivator posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
Does anybody know if acid-free paper is used in this Muji notebook, http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/notebooks/high-quality-easy-open-notebook-a5-dot.htm ) The paper is listed as 5% recycled, which would normally suggest not, but I've seen other papers with more recycled content which have nevertheless been acid-free. I've attached a photo of the label for anyone who might read Japanese. Thanks! (In case the website isn't clear, the notebook is 96 sheets, dot grid, cover in the usual brown thin cardboard, white tape on the spine, thread-bound in signatures, item 4549337193741.It's also listed elsewhere as "Muji Thread-Binding Notebook." Apparently there was also an A6 size made at some time, I'm not sure it's still available. There was also one with similar features done in a black cover, but I believe the paper is different.) -
Archival Quality Paper - Acid-Free, Lignin-Free And Wood-Free Paper?
TechnicGeek posted a topic in Paper and Pen Paraphernalia
Hey guys! Have been delving deep into paper type, coating etc. and basically trying to understand paper subtleties and got confused due to much information available and many sources. I am trying to understand whether acid-free paper only has it's acid base at neutral or it also has lignin removed? Is acid-free synonym of archival quality paper but more detailed? Are both same pretty much? Now I think some sources stated that acid-free is only that but nothing about lignin removed. I wonder how would one perform with and without lignin. What affects lignin that acid doesn't? Finally wood-free paper. I read that lignin there is removed but nothing is mentioned about acid-free there. What is this type of paper? Was there wood removed and chemical substitute used? Anyone knows if any of aforementioned terms affect writings of fountain pens? Things like feathering, bleed-through, ghosting (a.k.a show-through?)? Cheers!
