Tomoe River Toronto/near To Group Buy! (See Pif/ Group Buy Forum)

Recommended Posts

Hey pals this is a group buy/interest check for Tomoe River A4 52gsm paper (white from here: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/auc-shikisai/item/50602/ )

It costs $105 CAD + ~$150 CAD shipping (TBA) for 4000 quality pieces.

 

Which comes to $31.87 per batch of 500 sheets.

 

PRICE LADDER (per 500 sheets at each tier=4000 sheets.)

1) $31.87

2) $22.50

 

So ideally, we get more local pals to sign up, we get a better deal :).

 

Feel free to split ream costs with your local friends as well! This paper is super nice, smooth, & light; I'm interested in it for book-binding and making my own sketch paper! A large majority of fountain pens and inks do not bleed or feather on this paper. It's the same stuff that's in Hobonichi journals. I'll make a post later once we get enough people to commit at a good price. THIS IS TORONTO-BASED, I can deliver the paper during my time off this semester/we can schedule a meetup!

 

If anyone knows how to order 68gsm in bulk, let me know! So far it's only 52gsm; ideally it'd be 68gsm since most people I know are artists and prefer a bit thicker paper, but I'm perfectly happy with 52gsm too. We're getting a fairly good rate at the moment.

 

If you're interested, please add your information in the google document; it's only a solid interest check for now: aka, you're generally committing to your interest, but if you need to back out of your purchase later then please let me know ASAP. This will be open until the maximum of 8000 pages is reached (due to shipping weight limits).

I'm interested but live near Los Angeles. Are you willing to take on shipping to the US? Obviously with appropriate reimbursement.

Yes of course! It shouldn't be too much extra :^) (I used to live there during the summer too! It's absolutely beautiful and the weather is so lush.)

 

Just mark down your information on the doc and make a small comment/note for living in LA.

Actually I live in between the high desert and coastal plains. Our four season are warm getting hot, really hot, hot getting warm, and wet.

      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
