What can I say? The papers I use are incredible! I have spent the last 15 years getting this paper thing right, and I think you will agree. I have narrowed it down to 3 perfect paper options. They are all acid-free, archival and hand torn.
The two lighter colored papers are for the journals, and they are handmade from recycled fabrics. Both papers are excellent for writing with any type of pen without fear of bleeding.
The Watercolor Paper is the whiter of the two. It is 100% cotton rag, and is designed for watercolor painting in addition to pen and ink (see Benno’s book).
The Hemp Paper is the more rustic looking paper. It is a blend of hemp, jute, and cotton rags, and is a tiny bit thinner than the watercolor paper (see Mikey’s book).
The Arches Black Paper is for the photo albums and is made by one of the oldest and most prestigious paper making mills in the world. The black paper books come with plenty of mounting corners to attach your photos to the pages.
