The launch product. The reason that The Paper Mind is here.
Why it's special:

- Ultra flexible stitched binding to maximize comfort
- Simple design for distraction free writing
After testing dozens of "fountain pen friendly" papers from all over the world we found what we consider to be the very best: Mitsubishi Bank Paper.

This bank paper notebook is what I've been looking for. A notebook that I could slip in a leather cover, carry with me wherever I'm at and joy down those precious reflections and ideas that come to mind.
What I found marvelous, is the ability of the paper of this notebook to keep those dreaded bleed-throughs of wet inks and fountain pens at bay. I use both the front and back of the page to journal and I'm very VERY impressed. The paper, if you're not familiar with Japanese bank paper, is slightly scratchy and gives some feedback. I personally enjoy the experience, so a word of warning if you happen to prefer the pen to glide on the page uninhibited, then this paper won't satisfy your needs.
A special shout-out to Blake for the superb communication and suggestion. Because of that, I will seek to satisfy my stationary needs from the Paper Mind from now onwards.
The quality of the notebooks is excellent. Thank you for the great service and fast shipping!

It has been a pleasure dealing with The Paper Mind. I have recently purchased a shedload of various journals. New papers to me that will be fun trying out. Bank Paper, Dandelaid, Passepied and b7 Tranext included. Superbly made. Rapid delivery. All contents very well packaged. What’s not to rave about !?
At first I wasn’t sure about this paper, then as time went on I realized I kept reaching for this notebook and using it over a lot of my others.
The paper feels great, smooth, and the notebook itself has held up to quite a bit of travel. It’s also fun to use chromashading inks on this as they look so much different than they would on other types of paper.
