Since getting into fountain pens I've become an incorrigible paper nerd. In no small part this is due to my constant need to make things. It's a heck of a lot cheaper to make traveler's notebooks and refills for them than make pens! So I've been playing with some paper I've had knocking around from when I helped clear out the local university printing press when they were outsourced. Now I'm looking to try some different papers and get a real sense of the different qualities that are available. Eventually this will result in selling off the piles of hand-stitched notebooks I've been making to avoid being crushed when they fall over on me. (I figure I'm going to make them anyway, I might as well see if my hobby can help offset its own cost)
What are you favorite loose leaf papers? I'm planning on picking up a ream or two of Tomoe River, but haven't found anything else in a loose page format that tickles me. Page size is largely irrelevant as I'm already doing a lot of custom cutting.
(note: I have already lined up some guinea pigs to blind test all the different 28lb laserjet papers I can get my hands on, so I'm particularly curious about higher quality paper.)
