I have a little #notebook which was bought for a joke based on its cover. I wrote in it today because it was nearby. 😲😀 The paper is amazing. A regular, garbage ballpoint pen feels like gold on silk.
I don't want to have to buy more of these particular notebooks (bad price) to get more of that #paper. Assuming the makers won't want to tell me how to not buy their product,
How can I find out what's special about this paper?
I write on printer/copier paper frequently. This is different. In fact, I wrote on a piece of copy paper on this paper, and it still felt better, right through it.
It feels like maybe double the weight/thickness of copy paper, and I can feel a very slight texture.
@ZenHeathen Site says 60 pound text, which is 24 bond I think.
Interesting that writing on copy paper with this notebook paper underneath felt better. Perhaps look into a leather or similar desk writing pad to put under your copy paper to try that out? I have a small pu leather (aka fake leather) one that I use.
The stationery rabbit hole can go a long ways down.
@scuttlebutt Yeah, when I realized that earlier, I starting thinking to just cut out a dozen pages of this notebook and staple them together or something, to slide under the page of any cheap notebook to get the feel...
@scuttlebutt I want to be more portable. Something I can slip right into another notebook would be the only way I'd want to do this, other than actually having the better paper.
@scuttlebutt Are there other names writing boards go by? I'm having trouble finding more than a couple of options, and wondering if I can spread my search wider.
@ZenHeathen I should put my pens back together (cleaned them before I left on a trip in April) and get scribbling again.
I've more than enough different kinds of paper here that I obtained when I took a trip down the paper rabbit hole, but I do still fondle and run my fingers on the paper of random composition books I pass by in the drug store, grocery store, etc.
