Tomoe River 68Gsm From Uk, Bad Experience.

Recommended Posts

Thank you all for your posts. I think its been made clear, TR 68gms white in current worldwide circulation is wrong batch.

 

I am going to ask the seller to send me my money back or the cream 68gsm paper for free (if they repay my shipping cost, i have no problem to send them paper back). It is not their fault paper is wrong, but it is their fault they keep selling it eventhough they knew it was wrong.

I don't know about sheets but I picked up A5 and Midori TN regular size booklets of 68gsm Tomoe River and I'm pretty happy with the paper.

I have tried Taroko 32 Sheets Travel Notebook size with 68gsm white TR , paper was very good, but i dint like the notebook. I preffer A6 48sheets/96pages notebooks.

I agree completely with what you are saying here.

It's a bit unfortunate as those Tomoe River UK prices from the s848 are comparable to US prices.

 

So for those in the UK, can people recommend an alternate way to get TR paper?

You could order pads from Cult Pens but it is pretty expensive.

I have ordered from paperforfountainpens or Nanami paper but postage costs are high.

Ordering from Japan via White Rabbit or similar is difficult if you don't know exactly what you need and don't speak/read Japanese.

If anyone in the UK desperately wanted to try a Nanami paper TR journal it might be possible that I could have my arm twisted to help, since I can buy another one when I'm in the US. However, I prefer to write on the ordinary 52gsm A4 sheets for letters, so I haven't ever bought the heavier paper version as A4 sheets. :)

  • 2 weeks later...

just a quick note to let you all know, this situation has a happy ending.

 

i sent the paper back about 2 weeks ago, which cost me approx. 8 pounds. i asked for exchange for tomoe river 68gsm cream and if possible to add some more sheets to compensate my shipping cost the way back, because i still think seller intentionally sold me wrong product.

 

i got a refund, full sum i originally paid but not the amount the shipping back cost me. i am not minus 27 pounds, just minus 8 pounds now. :)

 

well, beware of this seller.

      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
