  • I need to write more letters. So do you, likely. One way to get jazzed up about writhing letters is to have cool stationery to do it with. Ana at the Well-Appointed Desk has put together a few different papers for us to try out. If you act quickly, you can ALSO do this, and provide feedback about which papers she should use going forward for these kits. I pick a favorite in this video after trying all of them out. Do you think you agree?

    Thank you for your video. Showing different papers with different writing instruments is just the best way to demonstrate how they work or not work together.
    Loved seeing the cats!! 😻😻😻

    The Kraft Tone paper definitely looked interesting with those fibery bits, although I found it a bit distracting once there was writing on them. Definitely a neat product, although I'm not sure if any of these papers would be for me. As always, appreciate the great vids!

    • @inkdependence
      @inkdependence  Месяц назад

      You know, I wrote a full letter on a sheet of that the other day and the little bits kinda disappeared and weren’t distracting. And it did pretty well with the ink/nib I used on it.

    Thanks, Mike. I only use pencil for notetaking.

    • @inkdependence
      @inkdependence  Месяц назад +2

      Same. I have been trying to mix in some pencil, though. I have a bunch, so I may as well use them.

      @@inkdependence Nothing wrong with that. Pencil is great - you can easily erase mistakes and correct them and in my test, it was pretty waterproof. I can certainly see why people would want to use pencil. I love my Japanese Mitsu-Bishi Hi-Uni pencils.

    On the one hand, I applaud Nose’s commitment to contributing to the household larder and to keeping you safe. On the other hand, I’m starting to worry about your cholesterol. Does your doctor know about your daily Lambchop consumption? I wonder if one can make cat-mint jelly?
    I have one of these stationery kits from Ana, but haven’t tried any of the papers yet. I’m surprised the “Butcher” paper performed so well just because it would not have occurred to me to write with a fountain pen on what I bring home from the store (though it’s great for crayons). I need to start playing around with these papers.
    I almost always use a fountain pen for writing letters, though your reviews have been leading me back to ball pens. Somehow there are quite a few Sarasas living in my letter-writing bag…
    Thanks for leading the way with this review, Mike!

    • @inkdependence
      @inkdependence  Месяц назад +1

      My cholesterol is fine, fortunately. I did have that checked.
      The butcher paper was surprisingly good. It looks slippery, but it writes very well. I haven’t seen actual butcher paper in a long time, but I remembered it being more waxy somehow?

    • @ruthfeiertag
      @ruthfeiertag Месяц назад

      @@inkdependence It’s waxy (or plasticized) on one side to prevent seepage. But that’s also what makes it a great paper for young kids. It’s strong so it doesn’t tear easily and will stand up to vigourous scribbling and to spills. Also works well for finger painting and it can be rolled out to whatever length one wants.
      I’m going to have to cut off a piece from my roll and see how fountain pen friendly it is.

    Was your preferred sheet of the four better than say, Midori MD? Tomoe River A5, etc.

    • @inkdependence
      @inkdependence  Месяц назад +3

      It's certainly different from Midori MD. Smoother, for one thing. It's not going to be everyone's favorite, and it's maybe not going to work for every writing tool, but I think it's likely the best of the bunch. I have used a couple of the others to write letters already, and they're nice enough, too, with fine nibs and such. None of them are TR, but the old TR doesn't exist any longer, and it was never my favorite in single sheets. It would crumple and crease if you looked at it funny.

    The paper comparison would had been interesting. I stopped after the second AD interrupted the video. Still not convinced why a product review requires interruption with ADs.

      I get it. RUclips, unfortunately, doesn't agree. I do post all of these videos on my Patreon without any ads.
