Fp Friendly Office Paper In Europe

[tomkeb]

I usually write my notes, letters etc. on blank A4 office paper... Right now I have a pack of them from an unnamed company and it is terrible for fountain pens, the nibs drag along it and the line feathers (or, more precisely, becomes bolder than on better papers), while I am using well-behaved inks (Diamine, Quink Blue, Sailor Epinard). I would like to buy a new pack, and here comes the question – is there anyone from Europe who would have experience with such papers being friendly to fountain pens, could you give me some suggestions? I think the paper brands shouldn't be too different from state to state.

 

Thanks in advance!

Our printer's stock 'cartridge' paper is great, but I am guessing you are looking for a ream of loose leaf paper? You could try Conqueror CX22 or similar which would be the standard brand in the UK: it is OK but, frankly, the no-name cartridge paper we get is better Just get a hundred pads (!) made to your liking with lines or dots or whatever. (I prefer blank, but dots are OK.)

 

Is there any way you can get samples where you live?

I would recomend Oxford Optik paper. Ref. 17102199 is A4 blank 100sheets 90g/m2.
