We use some of the highest quality 100% recycled paper on the market with an accountable, verified supply chain. It has a slightly warm hue which gives it a more natural color. Below are some pen tests so you can see how the paper performs with different kinds of ink, including some fountain pen

The paper does well with fine and ultra-fine nibbed fountain pens. In our initial test of the paper, we found that there is some slight feathering (particularly if the ink is on the wetter side), a fast dry time, and very little show-through using a fine or ultra-fine nib. Wide and extra-wide nibs, particularly calligraphy-style pens and wet markers/Sharpies that produce larges strokes of ink do have some show-though. You can see photos of this test below.

Pen test:

Here are some more traditional writing tools; gel pen, ballpoint pen, different colors of flare pens, and highlighter.

There's no feathering at all with any of these, and the only real show-through came from a brand new Sharpie and green highlighter.
