I am hoping for lined paper.

I know what I use for my own writing, but it is unlined.

Thus, :lurk5:.

Pendemonium (http://www.pendemonium.com/stationery.htm) sells fountain-pen friendly stationery.

Here is a link to Paperpenalia (http://www.paperpenalia.com/stationery.html)'s page on how to select paper for your fountain pen needs.

HTH! I have not ordered any paper for this purpose myself - just thought I'd pass along what I found. I would love to write with a fountain pen and I bet my girls would love it too so I might look into it myself!

Also, do you have an art supply store in your area? I'd think you could find something there - I'd call ahead and ask them.

Levenger's (www.levengers.com) has wonderful paper, and they sell many fountain pens, so I'd imagine you could find a match there!

Also, you might want to PM "Patty Joanna" - IIRC, she uses a fountain pen.

Paper which has a smooth, almost glossy, finish will do fine. We were always able to find notebook paper that didn't cause the ink to bleed and blur. We also used fountain pens in those black-and-white composition books with no problems.

Wow! Really? I'll have to try that out this evening. That would take our "supplies" budget line to almost zero. Cool. Thanks.
