Paper Selections
WRITING PAPERS
140gsm Multi-Media Paper
An excellent quality all-purpose paper suitable for writing, drawing, fountain pens, and mixed-media journalling. It is soft white in colour and uncoated with a very light tooth. This is our most popular choice, offering the least amount of show-through from front to back and still a good number of pages.
Our most popular paper is also an excellent choice for artists! The surface is uncoated so it grabs dry media without loosing depth, but the paper has been internally sized for wet strength allowing watercolours and other paints to perform beautifully.
140gsm Recycled Paper
Extremely close in feel and colour to our standard 140gsm, but made with 80% recycled material! It is still treated for wet media so your inks and paints will behave beautifully, however it does have a slightly more rough surface so brush and fountain pen users will likely still prefer our standard 140 or 120 papers.
120gsm Extra Smooth
This extra smooth paper is ideal for juicy fountain pens and brush lettering without wearing on your nibs. With 20% cotton blended in, the surface is buttery smooth but uncoated so there is no unpleasant slickness or long drying times. Page counts are the same as our 140gsm standard paper, but the finished books and inserts are considerably thinner due to the lighter weight and higher compression of the surface.
100gsm Multi-Media Paper
The same quality and surface as our 140gsm standard paper in a thinner package! This lighter-weight option offers the maximum number of pages per journal while still boasting minimal show-through with most inks. If you want the maximum number of pages we can pack into a book and you don’t mind a little more ghosting then this is the paper for you!
135gsm Coloured Paper
Available in 20 gorgeous colours to suit every style! Our coloured papers are a lovely thickness with the perfect amount of tooth for beautiful work in graphite, coloured pencil, charcoals, pastels, and other dry media. (Some ink work is also lovely, though we don’t recommend it for super juicy inks as the paper is not treated for wet media).
225gsm Watercolour Paper
A superb acid-free paper suitable for watercolour and other wet-media. Our watercolour paper has a NOT finish (slightly rough) and is a mid-white shade. It holds without fraying even through repeated layering and scrubbing.
Finally, all of our papers (standard and watercolour) are acid- and chlorine- free to ensure the longest possible lifetime for your precious work.
All of our writing papers are available in a variety of patterns:
- Blank
- Ruled (Fine 5mm or Wide 6.5mm)
- Dot Grid (Micro 3.5mm, Standard 5mm or Large 7mm)
- Full Grid (Micro 3.5mm, Standard 5mm or Large 7mm)
We are also able to do specialist patterns such as isometric, french / seyes grid, & calligraphy on request!
