Any tips on how to get good paper?

• formerly_proven 6y ago
  Oxford Optik Paper (90 g/m²) is very good, but clearly a premium option (2.5 EUR per 50 page A4 pad). I use Midori MD journals, not sure if they even sell writing pads, which are excellent as well. At university I mostly used cheap Brunnen paper for note-taking, not nearly as good as the Oxford, and you'd only want to write on it single-sided, but very cheap (a ten pack of 50 page pads costs the same as a single Oxford pad) and much better than some of the other cheap paper which basically seems to be photocopier paper glued together, which is awful to write on. There are probably paper review forums or blogs or something like that that might help you find nice paper locally. I always buy blank pads and usually use my own ruling backing paper, which has black and somewhat thicker lines than what comes with writing pads, which makes them easier to see in not-that-great lighting conditions.
