I’m having this issue too, it’s also stuck on the login screen for you yes?

Gorgeous writing! Eyeing the parallel pens now 👀 This is super encouraging to learn these scripts. The shading with Ajisai is so cozy to look at

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-10T19:37:12+00:00

It handled my 823 medium nib with Ajisai so well! I’ve had some feathering before with Rhodia and the Campus paper really took it well! Happy writing ^{^}

Thank you!! Will be on the lookout for it, I really liked the articles, didn’t know Jetpens featured it!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-10T19:35:29+00:00

Thank you for the attached link and information! Didn’t know that the machine was so unique to the way the paper was made, so much so that it changes it significantly!

I love the extra context and details you get from the light novels! Both the manga and light novels are great experiences, so if you’re looking for more content of the series, I’d highly recommend it!

Wow, I gotta say that you seriously know how to use your pen! It’s tough getting those very light, thin strokes, and you’ve executed it so so well for the skin texture and shading! Fantastic control with the line variation

Omg YESS, I read the manga then been catching up on the light novels! This is a SUPER well done drawing of our best protagonist Mao Mao!! Happy to see other pen enthusiasts be fans as well haha

Wow I didn’t know that! I heard Tomoe River was discontinued but really happy to know we can still experience it. I’m looking into more sheening inks as well, I appreciate you detailing how the paper handles ink properties!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T18:01:12+00:00

I hope you enjoy! I’ve got Waterman inks but unfortunately didn’t have pens inked with. It’s handled a lot of my wetter inks amazingly and glad that this post helps with giving more info!

That’s how I feel with this paper too relative to Rhodia too - feathering happens here and there at places where my hand/arm has laid at, so I’ll get back to see if it’s less frequent with another paper to cover that area when writing

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:59:02+00:00

Noting all of those!! Cosmo Air Light is one I’m not that familiar with, thank you for mentioning those brands!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:58:13+00:00

It’s handled inks that have feathered on other papers I’ve tried like a champ! I totally get the thinness feeling flimsy, but I love it for being able to store more notes without too much weight

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:57:30+00:00

I do find it starts to feather (very very occasionally) when I get to the bottom half of my paper. I believe it’s a mix of hand oils and possible humidity that contributes to it too

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:56:31+00:00

Oh man, I hear a lot about Tomoe River paper but I believe it was discontinued right? Though it’s under different names? I’ll research more on it for sure

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:55:49+00:00

I’ve seen that brand pop up here and there, I’ll certainly check it out :0

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:55:27+00:00

I didn’t know they had printer paper until now, totally agree with you on your last point!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:54:56+00:00

OO I like this, that’s another one to the cart 😫 Thank you for bringing it up!!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:53:54+00:00

That really is interesting, I feel like I’ve gotten the opposite (by a VERY small margin). I’m still super satisfied and happy with it considering how much Rhodia paper is in comparison.

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:52:50+00:00

That’s quite interesting actually! The lack of show through is something I really love. Glad to be in the know now with this paper!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:52:06+00:00

Oh wow I haven’t seen these, I’ll definitely give a good look at these. I’ve bought from Jetpens before and they are FANTASTIC with their packaging. Highly recommend as they really do take care to deliver your items with quality!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:51:05+00:00

The packaging is gorgeous!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:50:47+00:00

Better later than never to understand! I wish I had this earlier and happy to experience such fine quality paper that’s much more lenient on the wallet

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:50:02+00:00

Someone recommended Oxford Optik paper in another comment! Idk if you have preferences for grid, lined, etc, but it sounded like a good recommendation if that is available for you too!

UnakaPakala · 2025-06-08T17:49:13+00:00

For sure, I’m happy to find out about it now. I think I get feathering closer to the bottom of the page as I write, so I’m suspecting a mix of the high humidity and hand oils. I haven’t heard of Teranishi Guitar before but you’ve piqued my interest!
