Hi, everyone. Recently, I went to a fountain pen shop. I was trying out some pens on the shop's memo pad, which I noticed had a Pelikan logo on the bottom. The paper was extremely smooth, and I tried searching for it online, but to no avail. It was a rectangular shape, again, with "Pelikan" written on the bottom. The color of the paper was very white. Does anyone know if/where they sell this stuff? Thanks!

It will be a demo pad supplied by either Pelikan or, more likely, its local distributor. Point-of-sale stuff like is sent to shops to help in the sales of Pelikan pens etc. It's very unlikely you will be able to identify the manufacturer unless you ask the Pelikan distributor in your country. If you ask very nicely, they may send you a couple of pads.

I was wondering the same thing. I noticed the 'demo' paper in stores is very smooth and thin and absorbs ink well (these pads happened

to be from montblanc and visconti I think. I wonder if it's good quality...

Thanks for the info! I think I'll go ahead and do that!

 

Thanks for the link. That looks a bit different but I'm willing to bet the paper's similar, if not the same. Pretty pricy, but maybe it's justified for its rarity or the nice case. Thanks again.

Nice! thanks for the link. I think it's pricey too, but at least now I know what they're called and they come up on the bay...

      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
