The Paper Guide

Half of every "pen problem" is a paper problem. The fixable half.

Feathering, bleed, ghosting, and dull flat color are paper behaviors, not pen defects. This hub maps the weights (52 to 160 gsm), the coatings, and the honest trade-offs — quick-dry versus sheen-showcase, thin-and-many-pages versus opaque-and-plush — so your notebook stops fighting your nib.
