Chris Saenz | Paper Comparison and Thoughts! @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
In this video I talk about 5 types of paper I currently use for letter writing. One is a new to me paper (Croquis Maruman S263) and 3 are old standbys ... another one is a paper I want to love (Clairfontaine Triomphe) but it seems outside my paper comfort zone.
Anyway, I really wanted to open up the conversation about paper for fountain pens and see if you have a favorite paper and/or a paper you've been wanting to try out!
I also show you a few paper samples from a friend that I am trying out.
5 papers shown in this video:
Tomoe River paper 52 gsm white - old stock I believe - 100 loose sheets
CVS Caliber Paper Writing Tablet - 100 sheets Made in Vietnam (haven't found these lately but they do have spiral steno pads in this size we can trim off the holes)
Croquis Mauramen S263 Drawing Tablet - 100 sheets
Scholar Writing Tablet (made in India) - 100 sheets
and Clairfontaine Triomphe Writing Tablet 50 sheets
My favorite by far is still the Tomoe River 52 GSM Tomoe River paper followed by the CVS Caliber paper. I am looking forward to a more long term try out of Cosmo Air Light 75 gsm paper one of these days.
Let me know in the comments what you like to write on for pen pal letters or which notebooks you favor. Maybe I'll try some out with some channel funds.
Thanks for watching!
