Sorry was away during local long public holiday weekend

Mine arrived yesterday and I will post a handwritten review on the weekend.

So far I've been using it for my To Do lists for work and it's working well for me.

It's very thin, unimaginably thin. Having said that I really like the way the ink looks on the paper and the fact that no matter how saturated the ink and broad and wet the nib, there's no bleed through (or feathering). Unlike TR paper (which feels thick in comparison), there's too much shadowing to use the reverse side. It also has a different texture to TR paper, dryer and stiffer somehow.

I love that it came in B5 size as that's my preferred paper size. I'm not sure what I'll use it for but I am sure I'll have lots of fun working out a use for it.

[Zeroxevo]

Glad you liked it. Yes its unimaginably thin but no bleed through and no feathering.

[earthdawn]

Got mine and it is very nice.

No feathering and zero bled through. It does have shadowing on the back so you can't write on the backside. I had it on a blank page of a notebook with bright white paper that was lined. I used it as a guide but I was also able to see that even with a wet stub it did not bleed.

The paper is however very thin. Almost like onionskin paper or a tough tissue paper. Nothing wrong with that but I can't see myself making a pocket journal out of it. Using it as an inset page for a card or letter writing it would be great.

One thing I do like is that so far it seems the paper shows the true color of the ink your using.

Last... it does dry within a reasonable amount of time.

Porn ...

[Zeroxevo]

Thanks for the review and porn

I really agree with you on the part that this paper really brings out the true Color tone of all ink I throw at it. Personally I use this paper as insert pages between my main planner pages as it really cut down thickness of my planner. I will post a picture on how I use it shortly with my newly acquired Onoto (yay finally my first Onoto)

Following are some pictures - apologies for the quality, they're via my iPad using natural light in my office.

The first 2 are both sides of the Calligraphy paper and the second 2 are both sides of TR paper.

Thanks for your kind review! Really glad you liked it!

This is how I use the chinese caligraphy paper for my day to day writing. Due to the lightweight of the paper, I can pack more pages into my daily planning.

Interesting, it looks a little bit like onion skin paper.

Similar thickness & texture but much better with wet pens and the ink "glows" on the page.

Yes! Aptly describes the effect! The writing seems to have some glow-ish effect and pops out of the paper effect. Of all the inks, many of the J Herbins inks show their true tone very nicely on this paper especially haemitite Rouge.

Hi, this is something to try. I ordered 3 tomoe river books and enjoy the writing.

Question: the schedule that you have on the image what is that and what do you use it for?

That is chronodex planning system by Patrick Ng, based on a clock face. Designed for those who prefer a non-linear planner and feel that a visual representation is easier. How everyone uses is it different. You can pre-schedule things ie. shade/colour etc for upcoming events or you can post-schedule ie. notate how you spent the day as a means of reflection or a combo of those. If you google chronodex and spiraldex, you will see different ideas of how to use the colours/shading to represent different things.
