It looks like Staples finally listened to the fans of their bagasse notebooks. They're finally offering unlined copy paper in their Sustainable Earth line. It's 95% sugarcane. It's only available online, though, and not in-store. They currently have a buy 2 get 1 free sale, plus free shipping. I haven't tried it, as I only just discovered it-- plus I still have a ton of Office Max's Sugarmade paper. I'm assuming this paper performs as well as their notebooks for fountain pen inks. I haven't met a sugarcane paper that didn't. So this is just a heads up and not a review. I know many love their paper, including myself.

 

eta: this paper is only available by the case; and the sale goes through 7/27/13

I bought a case last month but never got around to posting my review. I should do that.

Yes, please do post a review! Would love to know how it performs before I order. After reading more of the product's Q&A, the paper content is 95% sugarcane and 5% pine-- this differs from Sugarmade, which is 95% sugarcane and 5% bamboo.

Thanks much for the head's up. I'm nearly out of my OfficeMax paper.

And that's a good deal--though 3 cases is a *lot* of paper . . . .

I'll echo the plea for a review!

I wonder if there is any chance they'll start stocking it in the store. The sale is lovely but there's no way I'm spending over a hundred dollars to buy enough paper to last me the next ten years without giving the paper some test run first. Though, yeah, probably a review that was positive enough might get me to buying a single case. Though, I still have half a case of printer paper (NOT fountain pen friendly) left from the one I bought last year at an Office Max sale.

I put my review in the Review and Articles forum.

I was lucky to get a coupon for 1 case just as I needed paper (for the printer) so I didn't have to buy 3 cases.

Staples did have in stock for back to school last year, so I picked up a couple of packs. I has worked very with my fp's for corresponding. No bleed through or feathering with most inks.

      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
