Thick And Thin


Uncial

Recommended Posts

Recently I purchased some of Q-Connect's lovely Banker's Paper (a little like Tomoe River). I like thin papers and crinkly ones, but a little while ago someone sent me a letter on a really beautiful thick paper. Now this wasn't just a textured paper, it was thick, thick. It was made in very small batches and only available in in its country of production from the actual factory/mill. I think it may have been a cotton paper. Since getting that lovely letter on such wonderful paper I've been looking for something similar (I know I can't get the actual paper in question). I've had a good look around, but I have yet to see anything close to it. I have nice, quite thick (but very stiff) cards from G Lalo with that lovely rough edge and the paper I got in the letter had that same rough edge but wasn't as stiff. Does anyone know of a source for the sort of paper I'm trying to describe?

Awesome, thank you. I've seen the almalfi papers before but only in notelets format. I see that link has sheets. Thank you.

      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
