What brands of paper can you consistently rely upon to handle fountain pen ink? It's a question I often receive, and it's harder to answer than you might think. Here I walk through several major stationery brands, dividing them into "tiers" based on how compatible they tend to be with foun

And I add: hierarchies of paper in general regarding quality for writing. Personally, would rank Rhodia at the same level that Clairefontaine (my standard for working).

    Also quite easy to find here in Spain, if you have a stationery shop nearby (not the ones for kids and school), but the ones intended for office use.

      Yeah, I suppose they’re easy to find in many of ‘western’ Europe at least. Probably a bit like the Bic brand for ballpoint pens?

      Btw, thx a lot as I could not remember the word ‘stationary’… must be too hot around here at 38°c, brain must be cooking ;)
