Testing Tomoe River Paper in a journal review of the Pebble Stationery Co art deco dot grid notebook
Published 2024-07-06
As you would expect, this 52gsm paper ghosts, occasionally bleeds, crinkles when you use too much water, but hey, why would we care, when it brings out all the best characteristics of our fountain pen inks. Check out my review, which has an extensive fountain pen and fountain pen ink test to see what I'm talking about.
You can see detailed specifications for this journal on my website theusefuljournal.com/product/tomoeriver/, where you can also compare this notebook to other notebooks suited to fountain pen use.

Love your detailed reviews, and especially appreciate the effort you make to look into social and environmental responsibility. Also, your accidental ink blob turned out to be a great rorschach test. Results for different people in my household: 1) a ballerina doing a high arabesque 2) a can-can dancer doing a high kick 3) a tiny person riding a sea horse

Not a fan of notebooks with Tomoe River paper (ghosting makes me unhappy), but I found really small ones (less than a6) and I cut the pages to write notes that I glue in my journal (with washi tape or non-permanent glue-tape) to make very luxurious, fountain-pen written post-its (the inks look sooo pretty π) that have the additionnal advantage to be so thin they're almost undetectable on the other side of the page.
