Does Anyone Make Tomoe River Inserts For The Regular-Sized Midori Tn?


Centopar

Recommended Posts

I love my TN, I love Tomoe River paper. I want to be able to use both at once. Has anyone found any source of Traveler's Notebook regular-sized inserts made from Tomoe River paper?

 

I've been Googling, but the only things I've found are tutorials for binding your own inserts - unfortunately I am a giant klutz and can be guaranteed to gratuitously mess up any attempt at cutting and sewing paper I start. (Believe me. I've tried.) Now, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no, nobody is making such a thing" - but I'd love it if you could prove me wrong!

If you really really really don't feel up to making our own (good lord, it's so easy!) then the next best idea may be to look for book artists near you. A gazillion folks sew books, sketchbooks, journals, and pamphlets as a hobby. You may find one who will make yours on commission.

I think I recall someone here on FPN saying that the Midori Light refill is or is very similar to Tomoe River.

If I'm remembering correctly there is a FPN user who makes notebooks with Tomoe River paper, isn't there?

 

I find the light paper insert perfect but would be interested as well...

There are also a few crafters on Etsy who make Midori inserts. Maybe one of them would make a number of them for you, on commission. You may have to supply the paper.

Has anyone asked Jay Potter at paperforfountainpens.com about possibly making these? I'd love some Tomoe River paper in the passport size.

I looked on paperforfountainpens.com and didn't see a contact form aside from the order form. Is FPN the best way to get in touch with him?

I cut TR down to size, fold, and staple down the middle with the long-tail stapler at work: not aethestically perfect, but it does work.

This is some really excellent paper. I've got a couple pads and loose sheets, and I also have a supply of Midori 013 Lightweight Paper Refills. I can't tell the difference.

 

Once you open the cover and flip over the following page you will be on TR paper, for all intents and purposes. Holds ink, same weight, same texture, same translucency. I'd be amazed if it *weren't* TR.

Does the 013 Lightweight come in passport size? I can't seem to find it anywhere if it does. :mellow:

No, so far I haven't been able to find any made by anyone. It just doesn't. I finally had to make some of my own and I tell you it was a lot easier than I expected it to be.

I can make these for you, but I don't have Tome River paper in stock. Send me a message and we can work something out.

Hello ... sorry I didn't know there had been extra posts after I posted.

 

Yes, I am making (and have made) more in 3 different sizes -- pocket size, passport size, and the larger traveler's notebook size. I had to wait for new materials and with this storm, stuff didn't finally arrive until Saturday.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
