Cosmo Air Snow : My Impressions

[Matthew TWP]

I've been a big fan of Cosmo Air Light for a couple of years now, but I also love bright blue inks, which look better to me on neutral, white paper... and Cosmo Air Light is a warm white. So, imagine my delight when I ran across mention of "Cosmo Air Snow" on reddit. I immediately went to work tracking some down.

 

 

So far, Cosmo Air Snow only seems to be available in the USA through Jet Pens, where it's sold as blank loose leaf in A4 and A5 sizes. It's 75gsm, like Cosmo Air Light. I have also found it in Traveler's Notebook sizes on Etsy, and there you can get it with lines, grid or dot grid.

 

Compared to other papers, the Cosmo Air Snow is neutral toned but not bright white, and it doesn't make use of the brighteners that fluoresce under UV light.

 

 

Those of you who have used Cosmo Air Light will already be aware that it has a smooth but soft surface that creates a little bit of drag on the nib. Some people like it and others don't, so it's good to be aware of.

 

In my YouTube video, I compare the feathering, bleed-through, and sheening of Cosmo Air Snow, too.

 

 

Hope someone finds this useful!

Thanks! I've been a photographer for a long time, but I'm still just learning about video, so I'm always happy when I get something that I can live with.
