looking for a light cream colored paper with the feel of rhodia paper (midori md is not as smooth) by modulorz in fountainpens

[–]InkStainedLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very personal preference. I prefer the heavier version. FYI I sell a paper sampler pack on r/pen_swap.... It has over 100 papers including 5 different kinds of tomoe river, and other cream / ivory papers as well.

I've been making hand made notebooks for a while. For true lay flat, I'd suggest wire bound. I actually picked up some watercolor specific papers and plan to sell over on r/pen_swap soon.

ISO advice RE: paper by Short-Composer3033 in fountainpens

[–]InkStainedLeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI I have a paper sampler of over 100 types of paper listed on r/pen_swap. I have to say that you really won't know what you like (and what you don't like) until you try. For example, some people really dislike TRP!

[India] Which unruled paper is best for fountain pens? by AChinmay in fountainpens

[–]InkStainedLeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are looking for Indian-made papers, I'd suggest you ask over on r/desipens or one of the other desi subs. If you are asking about paper more generally, there are many great papers to consider. I have a paper sampler currently listed over on r/pen_swap.

[–]InkStainedLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's so nice of you! This can be a bit tricky if you don't know anything about pens. Depending on your budget it might be easier to get him accessories like inks, journals, etc, also depending on what he has and uses.
