Laid Writing Paper

Great for writting with quill and holds the wax seal very well. Would recommend!

This paper is very thick and excellent quality! I love to write on it, no feathering, accepts ink great, dries fast and looks amazing. It is rough but not enough to affect writing, it is amazing stationery to add to your writing desk.

I just love this laid paper. I've used a couple sheets since I ordered it in March, and it is wonderful. I use a flexible metal nib pen because I am rubbish at cutting quills, and it works fine. I will warn that it is not good to get it wet at all, I found this out while trying to use a damp paper towel to clean some excess ink off. Of course, it being paper, that shouldn't need to be said, but be extra careful to not get it wet. Again, amazing quality and works well with a dip pen!!

I was gifted the laid writing paper and the quality is astounding. I am not a paper expert or a writing expert but it is enjoyable to write on. I must say it is quite an experience. It is also enjoyable to know that it helped support Townsends who are one of my favorite you tubers. I am using this for some special letters and it adds such a special touch. It is an amazing purchase.

To try this paper out, I used a Waterman fountain pen with Waterman blue ink, and black sealing wax from Nostalgic Impressions. I wrote some text, made a seal on the inside of the letter, folded it, and sealed it.

This paper takes ink and sealing wax well; the ink doesn't bleed, and the wax adheres well and doesn't show through too strongly. The paper isn't entirely opaque; when folded and sealed, you can with some effort see some of what's written on the outermost sheet. It is, however, more opaque than most other papers I've used.

It's not as smooth as other papers; writing on this paper isn't as effortless as on some of the other nice papers that one can find (Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Tomoe River). It's a fairly similar experience to writing on cotton paper, actually. Sealing wax adheres to this paper better than to Clairefontaine.

The paper is fairly thick; it's not as easy to fold as a thinner paper. If writing a lengthy letter to go through the post, one might want to use a thinner paper, e.g., Tomoe River.
