Q&A Slices: What makes paper fountain pen-friendly?
What determines “fountain pen friendly” paper? I realize it’s relative but are certain weights or smoothness better for less bleeding or feathering?
you determine it, each and every one of you 😉
there are loosely defined properties of fountain pen friendly paper, but nothing set in stone or standardized across the paper industry
generally, it’s smoother, more ink-resistant, feather-resistant, bleed-resistant paper that’s thick enough to resist ghosting on the backside
paper weight is often the only numerical designation you’ll see, in “g” (grams), “gsm” (grams per square meter), gm2 (grams per meter squared)
80g is where it starts to really mean something
the weight doesn’t mean it’s FP-friendly on its own, and it’s not a thickness measurement either, so not all 80g paper will perform the same!
sadly, I see few other designations that mean much of anything on the notebooks themselves
if a brand claims it’s ink-resistant or FP-friendly, that’s often an indicator it’s worth investigating, but it’s still sometimes a disappointment as everyone’s standards are different
smoothness, ghosting, dry time, all that other stuff is pretty much unreliable on the product markings themselves, so you have to rely on retailers or reviewers who’ve actually used the stuff and have created their own method of rating the paper quality!
