Some More Tomoe River Paper Pictures
I realize that's a terribly boring post title, but when I was doing research for the review, I had a tough time finding specific information. So if someone wants pictures, well gosh darnit, pictures they shall have! My guest review of Tomoe River paper is up on FPGeeks's site!

I was thoroughly impressed by the paper's ability to handle even the wettest of nibs! Show through is strong, but it did not bleed through.
As I mentioned in the review, inks look rich and velvety on this paper, and it really brings out shading. It also helps bring out the ink's sheen if there is one, because the ink doesn't get absorbed into the paper.

my goodness, that sheen is to die for! (one of my favorite characteristics of inks, second to shading, in sheen).
I've heard of this paper on FPN, is it new? where can I get some? :D
Forget the Tomoe River Paper. That Namiki Falcon SF is lookin' pretty good, actually.
It is quite yummy. This paper makes it even better!
I think it's catching on, but has probably been around for awhile! It's a pain to get, but you can buy some from penandhand on FPN - http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?/classifieds/item/15494-for-sale-tomoe-river-paper-largesmall-sheets-pads/
I just ordered 2 reams from him!
Wow. What ink/pen did you use to write "Difficult to handle man... they're floppy" with? I must find out, buy it, and giggle every time I use it.
Quick question... relative to other paper (using same ink) do you find that inks dry faster or about the same? I'm writing on it for the first time just now and i'm amazed at how fast the ink dries (also trying new ink). Lovely post/handwriting/etc.
HAHAHA hilarious. That was with a Ken Cavers cigar fountain pen (fine nib) LOL they're super floppy. It is rather comical hahahaha
Compared to something like Rhodia/Clairefontaine which is really smooth and kind of coated, it dries a little faster on this paper, but compared to something like an inexpensive copy paper or just scrap paper or whatever, it's much slower. In my experience anyway! Although occasionally, my pen will just write wetter based on the ink or pressure I'm using or some random thing like that! Totally. Worth it.
And thank you for your compliment <3 :)
The ink looks awesome in that pen!
Definitely - it brings out its sheen!
