Types of Paper

The weight of the paper, measured in grams per square meter (GSM), plays a crucial role in determining the feel, durability, and suitability of a notebook for different purposes. We offer a range of paper weights to cater to your specific needs. Explore our guide below to find the ideal paper weight for your notebook.

68gsm Tomoe River Paper - White

Tomoe River Paper is celebrated for its exceptionally smooth surface, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of artistic mediums, such as fountain pens, gel pens, ballpoint pens, highlighters, and light watercolor washes. This paper–sourced directly from Tomoegawa, the original manufacturer–was last produced in September 2021, marking the end of its production. This particular type of Tomoe River Paper is especially cherished by fountain pen enthusiasts for its ability to enhance shading, sheen, and the richness of ink colors. It allows inks to pool on the surface, creating a reflective sheen and highlighting subtle color variations, particularly in multi-chromatic inks.

The 68 GSM weight strikes an ideal balance between transparency and opacity. It provides enough transparency to use guidesheets effectively, while still being opaque enough for double-sided writing or drawing with minimal ghosting. This makes it an excellent choice for those who value the ability to use both sides of the paper without compromising the quality of their work. Additionally, the 68 GSM paper is highly resistant to bleed-through, even when used with wetter mediums, ensuring that your creations remain clear and vibrant.

Another notable feature of this paper is its bright white color, which offers a clean and inviting canvas for any creative expression. The thicker 68 GSM paper is also stronger compared to the 52 GSM version, making it particularly well-suited for notebooks, as it further reduces ghosting on the following pages.
