The product was packaged perfectly and was complete with a handwritten note. I got the bank paper notebook, and I am so incredibly pleased with it. It lays completely flat and has beautiful paper. I’m looking forward to using it as my personal journal.
Mitshubishi Bank paper is simply the best paper for fountain pens and these paper mind dot grid notebooks are the best way to enjoy it, quickly becoming the only way too, as the paper is no longer being made. Even buying from England with postage and time this is an essential purchase if you want to see your writing to its best
As I've been getting deep into the fountain pen rabbit hole, I've been definitely getting picky with my papers. I find the Tomoe River paper to ghost too much for my liking so went down this great search to try and test a lot of different papers. Of my journey so far, my favorites are the Kobeha Graphilo paper and this bank paper. This paper writes especially nicely with my Pilot Custom 823's. So grateful that I discovered Blake and the Paper Mind store! I also got a Tranext book and find that it is perfect for an ink archive (beautiful coloring but lines are big- paper is a nice white too). Meringue is indeed in a really fun size and writes well too although was pickier with some of the random ink samples I tried (in terms of the tactile feel - noticeable struggle with the dry inks). Anyway, this one was my fav of the three given I love trying new inks and have a specific preference for glide! Do love all three for different reasons though. Thank you again!
Great paper, great notebook
I like the thickness of the paper better than Tomoe River. I like the uncoated feel better than Tranext. The Bank Paper behaves perfectly with decent fountain pen ink. I like the size and the binding which work well in my leather notebook covers. There is nothing not to like. The color is not perfectly white; in that the Tranext is better. But for writing in a notebook (which is the best purpose for a notebook) the Mitsubishi Bank Paper is best.
