Since we broke the pens out of storage, Katy's been taking up calligraphy. She's rather good at it too.

Anyhow, I cautioned her against using cheap paper with a #FountainPen because I've found it to be an unpleasant experience. Despite this, she's using a notepad from the dollar store. As it turns out, the paper is surprisingly good quality. No feathering or bleed through whatsoever.

Colour me impressed.

My Rhodia notebook has nearly run out. When I have to replace it, I'm seriously considering one of these.

In the USA Amazon I found that Newstor makes a no frills traveler's notebook refill. They make A5 books too. Thick pages that work well with fountain pen ink are inside their soft bound pages.

There are some inexpensive and good choices to be found at Target as well. Ink Graphics is the name?

Happy hunting.

@penfount some cheap paper is great, it's just a real crapshoot whether it will be even in the same brand/style.

I've used fountain pens on a variety of papers. Cheap American notebooks are usually not bad -- in fact my gripe with them is usually that the ruling is always too dark, the paper itself is okay.

generally, Vietnamese paper is pretty good for FPs. Vietnamese paper often shows up in cheap binder notebook paper or composition books, so I’m not surprised that it could show up in a dollar store notepad
