Hi!!!

 

My name is Anna and I live in Salt, Catalonia. I am a bookbinder and I am here because you have a lot of information on paper, and that interests me. I also enjoy your bookbinding/journal posts and I hope to show my work here too :).

 

Nice to meet you all!!

Welcome, Anna !

 

There is some interest here, for journals that are "liquid-ink friendly".

Do you regularly use a fountain pen ? I look forward to reading yoiur experiences.

Hello and welcome, Anna. I'm glad you joined us. Bookbinding interests me, perhaps because I know almost nothing about how it is actually done. I do love books. Bookbinders also interest me, again, perhaps because I don't actually know one and because they possess an amazing skill.

 

Please make yourself right at home and don't hesitate to share your questions and opinions. I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Thank you for the welcoming. Yes, I actually have a Sheaffer that my fiancé gave me an a Inoxcrom. It was him who suggested I checked this website, since he really likes fountain pens. About the journals that are "liquid-ink friendly", I am looking for a paper to use in my journals that is fountain pen friendly. Tomorrow I am going to Barcelona to check that. I will share the results with you :).

Hi Anna and welcome to FPN.

 

Nice Avatar....

 

 

Yes, the problem with journals is often that the paper is too loose, sucks in the ink too much, producing feathering and bleeding. You would need a heavier paper, say 90 or 100 gms.

 

If you go testing, don't forget to take your pens..... And a bottle of ink with some Q-tips for doing ink-swaths.

 

 

Enjoy the forum

Thank you, I won't!! :D

 

Greetings from México Anita. I sincerily hope Inoxcrom is still working in Barcelona.

 

I lived more than a year in México, and I am going to go soon, probably on August :). I don't know about Inoxcrom, sorry :huh:

Actually, I have been testing. I already posted my first paper review and I am about to post another one this afternoon. I want to use a good paper in my work ;).

      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
