Samples should be full sheets of paper. On the paper include your FNP User Name.

 

Be sure to send a message to this thread including your user name, what type of paper, what inks, what pens or any other information you deem relevant).

 

Stay posted for any other news and information.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

@ LagNut - Chairman of the Peoples Committee on Paper

I've added some other papers to my samples. I've already included the same inks on other samples.

I added

  1. Some of the stationary I use. It's a recycled ivory / granite paper. The link for it is here. http://www.southworth.com/specialty/granite-specialty-paper/
  2. I also added some doodles from my journals. The journals are made by Piccadilly and are 100 GSM Acid free (whatever that actually means).

Wow! I just counted the swabs I made of my inks/samples over this past weekend and I only have 45. This doesn't count the order I placed with Goulet on Saturday! :embarrassed_smile:

Comrades,

 

As the Chairman of the Peoples Committee on Paper, I would like to suggest that you consider paper choices along with ink choices in the samples you are sending.

 

Among the pure cellulose choices, there may or may not be a great deal to choose. Personally, I will be sending a number of choices even within this group -

 

Rhodia

Clairfontaine

Maruman

Engineering paper - 3 colors

Cheap computer paper

Photo computer paper

Cheap notebook (school) paper

 

However, there are other choices that I think the accelerated historical imperative of the Las Vegas Sun could shed light on the inevitability of:

 

Map grade computer paper (waterproof)

Waterproof note paper

sugar cane paper

bamboo paper

rice paper

 

The entries in red are ones that I do not have easy access to, but I think would be an interesting thing to know. The waterproof papers I do have, and will be part of the Peoples Paper Chairman's submission. The others are suggestions to people who do have these in their easy grasp and would be interested to see what the sun will do with them. There might also be other paper/writing media that the Chairman has failed to mention, but would be interesting. If you do think of something, I'd suggest sharing the idea so that others can join in, or you might give spark to an idea in someone else.

 

What difference could paper make? Not ever having left paper sitting in the back shelf of my car for years, I couldn't imagine. There are, however, reactionary fables of paper lightening and darkening, becoming fantastically brittle, almost like ash.

 

At any rate, I leave this to our collective imagination.

I am using Circa Rhodia paper. I do have some rice paper that I use for Chinese ink painting. I also have some strips of Arches Platine paper, if any one is interested in that paper. I use it for pt/pd printing, so there is acid in it-the process involves multiple washes in water, so by the end, there is no acid left in the paper. I don't know if that is important or not for these tests.

 

Anyway, my Goulet order arrived today!!!!

Does anyone have any interest in resizing the images (uploading them to my web server or some other location) and posting the links back to here? I could really use the help.

 

I have the next batch of photos scanned.

I'm making my submission this weekend. Was a list ever constructed? So far I have Binder Burgundy and Sheaffer Red. Next up are DC Supershow Blue, Pendleton Blaqua, DC Supershow Blue, Diamine Green Black, Iroshizuku Yu Yake, and R&K Helianthus. Should I skip any of those? Thanks.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
