Soumkine's Paper Test: Fountain and Ball Pens

The quality of paper was never an option at Soumkine. It has been a built-in default feature in all our notebooks from day one. Today we're proud to introduce you our new 100 gsm paper, as smooth and fountain-pen-friendly as the previous version, but more durable. It also has less feathering, bleeding and ghosting issues than the 70 gsm, which brings you much more comfort with your writing and planning routine.

We made paper tests with our favourite writing products using both 70gsm and 100 gsm paper so that you can see the difference yourself.
