Clairefontaine: Same question. I know it has a great reputation for fountain pen ink, but I had bad experiences with it. In a sense, it's too good. Line strokes tend to be thinner than most other papers. I can't write on them with my F or EF nib - I get a lot of skipping. Others have had the same experience - the paper is just not at all absorbent (hence absolutely no feathering).
I had a similar experience with Maruman Mnemosyne.
(Just my opinion - I know there are folks who love it).
I often use Figurare - it's similarly priced, although some of them feather more than others. I just tried Denik, and it's decent. Not as smooth as Clairefontaine (nothing is!), but handles the ink well enough.
- enriquto 5y agoHere in france you can find them in many supermarkets for about 2 EUR. The plain and dotpad versions tend to be rarer and more expensive.
- iamacyborg 5y agoMakes sense, I wonder if they still teach kids in France to write with fountain pens, I know I had to when I went to school there 25 years ago.
