paper takes liquid ink, giftees LOVED themJan 02, 2010
I have come to notice that there are perhaps three kinds of people who Journal: those who are addicted to it, Those who contemplate or try to figure out how the think or feel using something slower where words can be chosen ahead since they have not appeared on the page before one realizes it has -- as with typing, and those who simply don't.
To Every Journalizer there is the importance of paper: does it take liquid ink, or does it act as a poor quality ink blotter, or cheap paper towel? I am pleased to say that this paper does take liquid ink (for the few who may not know, that's like from a Fountain or drafting Pen, Quill pen, glass pen, or Calligraphy pen). I am pleased to say that this paper takes ink.
Of 20 gifts of several journals per person, I received 5 thank you cards saying they were wonderful, and 15 thank you phone calls lauding the journals - and not one single e-mail. That speaks for itself. I'm not a journalizer so I don't know, but I have strong evidence to suspect that this is a reasonably spectacular journal. Though I have my eye on twp hand-made journals, one is barely sub folio for $350 the other a folio for $900, I still wonder if hand-made Medieval sized journal would draw me with a greater desire. After thinking $950, Vs. about $20 - I now wish I'd gone for this - fear of cheap blotter paper and real ink scared me away myself -- but those who DO journal, would not mind moving away from liquid ink and Watterman, Pelican, Mont Blanc, Shafer or Mars pens.
