Just wondering, do people write on both sides of the paper? I don't, not because I don't want to, but because of ink bleeds (I know, I should get better pen and paper).
I personally use a stack of printer paper, then punch 3 holes and put them in binders. That way, I can save the ones I want, recycle stuff that I don't want.
- klodolph 4y agoI write on both sides, but I buy notebooks with better paper.
- allenu 4y agoI write on both sides. I used to not for fear of ink bleed, or seeing the other side. Ink doesn't really bleed through and what I can see on the other side is faint, so it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I use Leuchtturm notebooks and I really like how the paper feels under a fountain pen (nothing fancy, just a Lamy Safari). I don't think I can use cheap notebooks now since I can tell right away that the paper doesn't feel as good when I write.
- mdlman 4y agoIt might not be worth it to you, but you might try a slightly better quality printer paper. I’m using a generic store brand premium laser/inkjet paper (24 lb/90 gsm), and I’m not getting any bleed through or feathering. It costs more than normal printer paper, but handles ink well and goes on sale often.
- aynyc 4y agoWell, my printer paper is free, courtesy of my company WFH. Depending on price, I might pony up for that since I write a lot less than I print.
