Clairefontaine Tablets "Triomphe" Stationery - Ruled 50 sheets - 8 1/4 x 11 3/4 Extra White - For Calligraphers, Fountain Pen Users, and Fine Correspondence

I have a gold nib fountain pen which I have tried using on several different writing papers with mixed results. I read a lot of reviews on the Clairefountaine Triomphe paper which gave it rave reviews. I thought "What the heck, I'll try it." One of the best decisions I ever made. The pen just glides across the paper with no ghosting and no scratching feeling whatsoever. Even my steel nib pens write better with this paper. The rave reviews are correct, this is a fantastic writing paper at just the right weight and feel to complement my fountain pen(s). If you're looking for a excellent writing paper to go with your fountain pen, look no further. This is it.

1. If you're a fan of writing with fountain pens or practicing pointed pen calligraphy, you'll definitely want to add this paper to your collection. The smooth texture of this paper is simply delightful, and the Claire Fontaine watermark adds a touch of elegance. This stationery paper is perfect for sending a special letter to someone, letting them know just how much they mean to you. And while it may be a bit lighter than your average paper, I love to fold it in half and create personalized note cards for any occasion. Do you need this paper? Not necessarily. But if you're looking for high-quality paper for your special correspondence, this one is definitely worth considering.

Really outstanding product. I have zero constructive criticism. I can't imagine a better paper got hand writing letters.

Product seems decent, but I thought it would be a left-bound format instead of a tear-off legal pad style. Quality is good so I'll keep it, but it's not what I was expecting.

I purchased this paper for correspondence and to send an accompanying note with items inside shipped packages. I have other envelopes for use, but it is nice that this came as a package.I was very pleased by the color and measurements of the paper. My pen glides nicely over the page. The paper is smooth, but not shiny. I specifically selected the product number (on the back of the pad, it is the Ref. #, on the Amazon details page, it is the item model number beginning with the letter C) 6120. It is a white paper, but not "bright white".Caveat: The accompanying envelopes are not the same weight, or made of the same paper. The envelope fits well with about 1/2 inch room total to spare. The label on the package of envelopes states "white peel and seal C6 envelopes." The color is a bit brighter white than the writing paper, with perhaps a slightly gray tint. For someone who is looking for a correspondence set for formal correspondence, this would be disappointing. For someone who writes casual letters and is not particular, it will work well.I bought this specifically for the paper, and I am pleased with it, so a 5-star rating is in order. I can see, however, that if someone had other intentions, this could be problematic.

If you are looking for a high quality paper for fountain pen writing and ink, you will not go wrong with this. This allowed my ink to sheen better than I expected. Does not bleed through even when applied heavily.

I write a tone of letters and I always use fountain pens. Clairefontaine is one of my favorite papers to use. Almost all of my pens do very well on this paper. There is no bleeding or feathering and the nibs glide across the surface of this very smooth feeling paper. The larger size tablet comes with a sheet of lined paper that can be put under the top sheet to assist in writing in a straight line.

I must confess, I was a little disappointed with the size of this pad, however... That is entirely my fault and no fault of the seller. I'm a British guy living in the US, so I'm still used to metric measurements and not imperial. Now, the Triomphe pad itself is excellent! The pages are silky smooth, which my fountain pen glides over effortlessly. I'm still a little heavy handed with my pen, but this paper takes it with ease. I have had no issues with feathering or bleed through. The fact it comes with a lined template page to place under a fresh page is a nice touch and a big help. Excellent writing pad.
