Cosmo Air Light Paper Review

Recommended Posts

Well, I bit the apple and made my first review video. In this overview of Yamamoto Paper's Cosmo Air Light, I ramble, talk about inks and pens, and caress the lovely paper. https://youtu.be/T4EkXfXDts4

I get a 404 when I click the link. And the URL listed in the browser has this added to the end, even though it's not showing in the text above - so you may want to edit your link to remove these characters from the end: %C2%A0

I really enjoyed your review! I recently bought some Yamamoto papers so I eagerly await their arrival.

 

Also, your video on the demon nib is delightful.

Nitrogen looks beautiful on this paper/in your review! Also that parallel + your custom nib are BROAD (I also noticed Cosmo Air Light causes letters to be a bit broader??)

 

I recently acquired this paper too. I like almost everything about it... I just don't know if I can handle the velvety texture.

 

Thanks for the review :)

After watching this review & searching about for this newly introduced paper I was happy to find DROMGOOLES in Houston offering an A5 spiral bound notebook with the Yamamoto Cosmo Air Light paper.

 

I searched my usual suspects in the US for same & was met with "out of stock" or merely loose leaf selection.  I was really most interested in "sampling" this specific paper & for a reasonable price with same shipping costs.  (Musubi offers a nicer notebook with various options for the paper but the shipping is almost equal to their notebook & I wanted to try the paper before committing to an expensive notebook.)

 

I was extremely grateful to DROOMGOOLES for their extremely modest shipping cost for merely one small notebook. While many US Retailers are adjusting their shipping costs it was very reassuring to find that this company shipped my notebook for standard USPS @ $3.12 on March 8.  I was surprised when I today received my order after traveling almost 1,000 miles in such a short time!  

 

After being disappointed in performance of the USPS Priority shipping in recent months it was a very nice surprise to find they managed to deliver their lowest cost shipment in such a timely fashion.

 

A large thank you to both DROMGOOLES & the USPS for making it possible for me to receive this new paper experience which is indeed everything the review promised.

      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
