If you want writing excellence, the paper also matters a lot. This is especially so if you're using more specialized equipment, and in particular if you're using inks that are more prone to seeping into the paper. The ability for the paper to only hold the top layer, without "drowning" or seeping in like watercolour, is then paramount. Rough or uneven paper just won't do either. Rather carefully use an ink blotter if the ink doesn't dry fast enough.
