Clairefontaine - Ref 6174C - Triomphe White Tear-Off Paper Pads (Contains 50 Sheets) - A4 (210 x 297mm) in Size, 90gsm Brushed Vellum Paper, Lined Rulings

50 pages white lined paper, the lines are equally as far apart as on the Clairefontaine Europa notebooks and the same violet colour, 33 lines to the A4 page.The paper has a luxury edge over the Europa notebooks in showing the sheen of fountain pens one grade better. If you think of Europa paper as having two-and-a-half stars rating for sheen, lined Triomphe has three-and-a-half. Not as sheeny as five star Tomoe River 50gsm or four star 68gsm, but on the other hand a more robust paper, ink dries quicker and you can use both sides without show-through. Reasonably smooth, enough to get a grip of the nib and draw ink out.I felt my unlined Triomphe was half a star smoother and sheenier and don't know if the batches vary or the lined paper is different due to the demands of printing the lines on. If your goal is to show off your writing I'd recommend the unlined paper which comes with a guide sheet.The price of this paper bounces around a lot, so you will have to calculate the value proposition for yourself. It's what I'd call a good semi-premium paper without reaching the wild prices of Japanese stuff. It behaves similarly to Dingbats notebook paper though slightly thinner, and ink shows less through the page than in Leuchturm 1917.

I write alot of letters with fountain pens, this is quality paper, no ink bleed through, and a very good priceWould recommend

Nothing the paper is just fine, no problems at all.

I was pleasantly surprised at the the quality of the paper - I was looking for a good quality lined paper and couldn't find anything suitable. So when I saw this at first I was a bit worried that it would look cheap but the quality of paper is excellent for a 90gsm and it's perfect for letter writing. I will be buying again.

Lovely smooth paper, easy to write on, quality pad.

Good quality. Would happily recommend.

Exactly what was required and exactly what was advertised, excellent service, excellent quality product

Lovely and smooth to write on
