I personaly like to use clairefontaine paper with montblanc ink. I think the paper absorbs the ink very nicely and smooth. I carry around a Rhodia webnotebook everywhere i go and i must say it's my favorite so far.

I have a Webnotebook at both home and work.

 

I'm also using an A4 Moleskine and the paper in it seems better than the smaller pads I've had in the past - no bleeding.

I use Rhodia in A5 size mostly, but many of my MBs have a fine nib so I can get away with writing onthe cheapie Cambridge spiral notebooks supplied by my office. I am trying to get them to order me some Black and Reds as these remind me of working in London.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

In order from best to worst:

 

Seven Seas Notebook, Tomoe River paper, best by a lot

Tops 3 assignment spiral bound notebook

Tops Composition Book

Montblanc Medium Notebook (surprisingly the worst of the bunch)

I heartily recommend Clairefontaine's Triomphe paper and their envelopes. A quality look and feel to the product.

 

For letter writing, I rely heavily on the A4-sized pads (lined or unlined) and love the way the paper accommodates my wet writers and/or my flexible nibs, and my dip pen nibs, when using my preferred MB Mystery Black (or Pelikan 4001) ink.

 

Currently waiting for delivery of 10 x A4 pads from my usual source at the excellent Writing Desk company (happy customer).

 

Pavoni.

In my experience, MB inks behave well on most everything short of newsprint (and even that, if the nib is fine enough).

Crane's 100% cotton in a variety of weights, sizes, finishes, colors and trim. What is the point of an expensive pen when you send something on poor paper?

 

Btw, nibs with a variety of imperfections can write well on slippery paper like clairefontaine, so I never use such papers to test nibs. Cotton paper is a much better test ime.

The only paper worthy to be adorned with Montblanc ink is Montblanc paper.

 

Any other paper is just not up to the stringent standards set forth by............etc..........etc...........

For notes: Atoma notebooks, A5 and A7. I am addicted to the movable pages and they are perfect with MB ink.

 

For letters: A while back I started using Step-Forward wheat-straw paper, which I cut to any size required for a letter. It is a pleasure to use with MB ink in any pen. It feels nice while writing and shows a crisp, elegant line. I came to like it better even than Triomphe (which I agree is very good) and some of the more expensive papers now sitting idle in my stationery folder.

Happiness is a real Montblanc...

For my work I use Moleskine exclusively with a medium nibbed 146, and I dont really have a problem with any MB inks. Very little bleed through if any. I typically use Royal Blue, Midnight Blue, Oyster Grey, and somtimes Irish Green. With Rhodia or Clairfontaine I risk getting smudges if I turn the page too fast or accidentally run my hand over the page while I take notes. I never have that problem with Moleskine as the paper absorbs the ink and dries much quicker.

Any suggestions for loose leaf paper?

 

I just got a LeGrand Solitaire with a broad nib, and I use a Circa notebook at work. I have the hole punch, so any letter sized paper is fine, I can make it work .

 

Thanks,

A very good and relatively inexpensive 100% cotton paper is Wausau's 32 lb, smooth finish. It's watermark is "Royal Cotton".

Amalfi is gorgeous 100% cotton paper that feels like fabric. Smythson is very good. I read it's a wood/cotton blend, but it's too much $ for me. G.Lalo is good, but not my favorite; I think it's wood pulp paper.

Mostly Levenger Clairfontain paper.

 

Probably the best paper for my fountain pens.

Try Crane's 32lb kid finish :-)

      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
