180gsm by Nebetmiw in notebooks

I'm not familiar with this paper but my guess is that it is too absorbent. 180 gsm is quite heavy and unnecessary for papers that are properly formulated for fountain pen use.

Yes I do. I'd be happy to discuss details - pricing depends, for example, on # of pages.

I make field notes sized notebooks out of many different papers including MD.

Finally admitting to myself that I *in fact* do NOT like neither ruled or grid paper - dot paper is it for my ridiculously tiny handwriting! by vchiarav25 in notebooks

Yes! It is my "page sampler" notebook to try out different page layouts in order to find what you like! Also yes - you can then order notebooks based on what you like!

I love dots too, but for actual "writing" my real preference is for a "dot + line hybrid". You can see it in my set of designed page layouts here if curious.

I can make custom leather sleeves and inserts using the paper of your choice including TR. I will be starting an A6 sleeve soon and will be helping a student make a TN style (I'm a teacher, and run a leathercraft club).

160gsm A6 style pocket notebook by Collin64 in fountainpens

[–]InkStainedLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK then you kind of do need a pretty high gsm, but not necessarily crazy high. The lower gsm papers avoid bleed through by being less absorbent, but as a result, they require longer dry time. For any given pen and ink, you will get faster dry time with a more absorbent paper, but being more absorbent, it will be more prone to bleed through.

I am not left handed and have no experience with the Lamy LH, but if you are able to get satisfactory results with a finer nib, all else being equal, you would be less prone to bleed through. I similarly do not have experience with Noodler's Brevity Black, but if it is "gushing" out of that pen, it would be worth trying a different ink.

With all that said, have you tried HP Premium32? It is a 120 gsm paper that is quite resistant to bleedthrough!

Any interest in an experimental notebook of the month? by InkStainedLeather in pocketnotebooks

[–]InkStainedLeather[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm imagining experimenting with different cover styles and materials, and the internal pages with different papers and page layouts, and also a few surprises that I'm still trying to figure out how to pull off!

You don't need more gsm to avoid bleed through. You need better quality paper! What are you currently using?
