TOMOE RIVER Loose Sheet 52gsm Blank A4 x 100

Tomoe River loose sheets are highly regarded in the fountain pen and stationery community.

TOMOE RIVER Loose Sheet Blank contains 100 loose blank sheets of A4-sized paper with a weight of 52 gsm.

Feature:
Paper Weight (52gsm): This is the key feature. 52gsm is extremely thin, about half the thickness of standard copy paper. This allows notebooks and planners to have a high page count without being bulky. While thin, it is surprisingly durable and resistant to tearing.

It's a popular size for notebooks, journals, and letter writing.

Fountain Pen Friendly: Tomoe River paper is renowned for its smooth, coated surface that performs exceptionally well with fountain pens. It prevents ink from feathering (spreading out) and bleeding through the page.

Sheen and Shading: The paper's surface is famous for its ability to bring out the "sheen" and "shading" of fountain pen inks.

Sheen: This is a metallic or different-colored reflection that some inks exhibit when they dry on the paper.

Shading: This refers to the natural variation in color intensity within a single stroke of ink, often seen with certain inks.

Ghosting: Due to its thinness, a significant amount of "ghosting" or "show-through" is to be expected. This means you can easily see the writing on the other side of the page. For this reason, many people prefer to use only one side of a loose sheet.

Slow Dry Time: The smooth, non-absorbent surface of the paper means that ink takes a longer time to dry compared to other papers. This is a trade-off for the enhanced sheen and color properties. Left-handed writers or those who write quickly may need to be mindful of this to avoid smudging.
