Used the pukka pads before but trying these loose sheets from pukka paper first time. 2 x 500 sheets packets for 7 pounds in( normally 4.99 each but on offer at) local Sainsbury's.

 

Paper is good quality for fountain pen ink. Tried my wettest pens and the lines were crisp and no feathering observed. But when I wrote with a firm nib, the impressions and ink visible on the other side.

As I understand it, the pads and the reams are different paper? Pukka makes both 70 gsm and 80 gsm paper in reams; they are labelled as (blue) 'Everyday' and (red) 'Everyday 80', respectively. (Not much) More at http://www.pukka-pads.co.uk/our-products/business-products/pukkapaper-range

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

Yes, that is why I had to treat myself for 'Father's Day'!!.. The paper is not as good as the pukka pad paper but about 75 to 80% there.. The paper is designed for inkjet printing so the paper is not that smooth but a lot better than some 100gsm inkjet papers which feather madly..

 

Having said that I had a university brochure which was such a smooth glossy paper, when made a note with the kaweco EF (private reserve electric DC blue) tried to pull the whole cartridge in a single stroke!! I will post the picture in the inky thoughts later today! Scary!

      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
