Paperforfountainpen(Dot)Com - Reviews? Tomoe River Paper

Recommended Posts

This might not be the right place for my topic (I wasn't sure if I should have put it on Market Watch, but that was closed to starting a new topic), but I wanted to confirm with some of you who may have tried it that this is a reliable site. I got some Tomoe River paper samplers from JetPens and absolutely fell in love with the paper. The website has a great price for 3, 100-sheet correspondence pads that I was considering getting. Any experiences with this site are greatly appreciated!

Paperforfountainpens is one of us and absolutely trustworthy. I've bought from him many times and the product is everything it's purported to be. The books are a joy to use, and every time I ordered I received my order in a very reasonable time.

Last month I bought the 3pack of 100-sheet correspondence pad. Like everyone else, I only have positive things to say. My package arrived within a week. It was very well packaged.

 

I'll definitely buy from the site again in the future! (Those journals are tempting me...)

Awesome! Correspondance sheets are the ones I want. With 300 sheets for $20, when you can usually only get a hundred for 15, awesome!

I have ordered from them as well and have had a wonderful experience. I purchased 3 of the journals. They are very well made and the Tomoe River paper is outstanding.

Can anyone say whether, when open, the pages lie flat? I've been trying to decide between these journals and the ones for sale at Nanami Paper, and I think the binding would probably be the deciding factor for me.

Jay's books don't lie quite flat when you open them. The Nanami books do. But since the paperforfountainpenbooks are not very thick, I have not found it bothers me overmuch.

Has anyone tried printing on Tomoe River paper? I have a laser printer, and I'd like to print a faint dot grid or graph on it to make into a booklet?

Thank you, that's helpful to know. And I do like that the paperforfountainpen offerings include journals in a size larger than A5, which I believe is the largest size available in the Nanami Tomoe paper journals.

I tried ONCE to print on TR paper with a copy machine (hooked up to the network at a printer). It worked. I haven't tried it since so I can't attest to a pattern.

Thank you for writing about Paperforfountainpen(Dot)Com, I was not aware of their existence. I am very excited to go visit them now...

Always good to help a fellow paper junkie get his fix...

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
