Can you recommend any loose paper sheets for fountain pens?

 

Muji Loose Leaf paper is a very nice, versatile and wallet friendly paper. Nibs tend to write a bit broader than how they would on a coated paper like Rhodia, but there is minimal bleed through, feathering, and some slight show through.

paperone 100 gsm comes in a variety of variants. It helps therefore to name the particular one tried.

And thanks for sharing your experience

I got my ream on PaperOne Premium 100 gsm paper. It is the one with the dark pink covering.

 

So far I have tried four inks on it using a Jinhao #6 medium point without any feathering or bleed-through. 

 

Now I must order a Rhodia dotpad to compare the two. 

 

edit: Feathering observed with DIamine Sapphire Blue (#6 Jowo Medium Nib).

Adit, muji loose papers can be a bit inconsistent. First time I tried it, it was good. Next time, I bought two 30 page packs at the same time, one was very good like the first time, and the other was quite the opposite- unacceptable levels of spreading and bleedthrough... see below- the bottom one is the bad batch. Given this, it’s hard to trust this paper.

I had a conversation with the people at Nightingale Stationery. In their own words "they do not make fountain pen friendly paper".

My opinion of PaperOne Premium has fallen drastically. 

 

Only one side of the sheet is good for use, the other is highly absorbent. I will not buy it again.

 

Next up, Digio Excel Pro.

      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
