I've made my first entry! I'm using mine to journal/document pen builds. This is my first experience with Tomoe River paper, and I'm sold. Nice little book. I'm sure I'll be returning for more.

 

heheh. I wrote about the first day of class in my book.

I was mentally giggling over how much Seiboku shades and sheens in my first entry... XD

 

And then I attacked with the rest of my pen & ink combos. They were all thoroughly tamed by Tomoe River.

 

Wow, what a paper. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Add me to the growing list of those impressed by the TR paper and the service provided by Jay. Package arrived promptly and safely. The books appear to be well-constructed and the paper is excellent. Well done.

Got my gorgeous journal yesterday and am in love! I'm using a college-ruled template behind the page so my writing doesn't wander over hill and dale. Well worth the price!!!!

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.

Mine arrived while I was away for a few days...

Let me say that the one thing I did not need was another Journal, however I am thrilled I got these. Soooo nice and especially good at this price point.

To be fair they are not as nice as the truly exquisite Design Y journals...the pages are slightly more narrow, though the same height. The exterior material is a nice functional cloth, not the soft supple leather of the design Y, but the price is no where as "exquisite" either! I will absolutely be obtaining more of these as the need arises! The Design Y is a wonderful luxury, these are a true treat! I am very happy indeed! :bunny01:

How do the groovy Design Y notebooks compare in price?

Well, like I said the prices are "exquisite"...as in expensive...mine was around $150, I think they range from just under $100 to about $150ish...

You can google them to find the site. They are truly wonderful...but I will be buying these from Jay going forward. These are really wonderful and reasonably priced so I can use them daily.

Can someone comment (or take a snapshot) of how much ghosting there is? I'm wondering if the thinness of the paper basically means you write on one side only. They sound like fantastic notebooks

Thanks for the info but at those prices you'd have to write with a microscope.

Researchers have created the world's smallest fountain pen with a tip so tiny it can draw lines a hundred times thinner than a red blood cell.

Which would be good in most cases.

 

Imagine what you can do when you get your mind out of the way.

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

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
