New Tomoe River Paper - 68 Gms Pif


Izzywizzy

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks

 

Hope you are all doing well.

I recently came across a slightly thicker version of the original Tomoe River paper at 68 gms and found it quite fascinating and an interesting alternative to the much loved 52 gms version. As such, I decided to send out some free sheets to some of you and feedback was very positive. I decided to work on some Notebook samples and to gauge some feedback prior to deciding to move forward.

 

I have some A4 sheets in the 68gms paper which I can send you for free (3 sheets each), you just need to pay for the shipping, I am not looking to make any money here.

The only thing I ask from you is your honest candid feedback please.

 

 

Have a Joyous Xmas and Prosperous New Year!

Izzy

I'm interested in a book, but would gladly take pages if that's all you have. Thank you for the offer.

I would like to add my name to the list of those interested in trying this paper...

I would be interested as well, but if the shipping to the US is too high, I'm willing to step aside in favor of people in the UK or Europe.

I would love to try the Tomoe River stuff; I've heard great things but never laid a pen on one. Count me in, please! (USA; if it's only 3-ish sheets, an envelope with an international stamp on it should do fine, no?)

As a recent convert to Tomoe I am like many converts a zealot. Anything Tomoe is devoured! Would love to try this. How does it work - do I send you a S.A.E.?

Is this still available?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
