Collectors name as proven all-rounders Zanders Classic and Zanders Gohrsmühle, which among heavy writers are regarded as clearly better than the Rössler papers (e.g. Paper Royal) and are available as a glued block or as a writing pad. Clairefontaine is also recommended as very well suited to fountain pens and reasonably priced. For notes, simple 5 mm grid pads are good; on finer papers like Edelleinen by DFW visible feathering of the ink can occur. Anyone wanting to test several papers in parallel can have a selection sent by the Papierunion's paper consultancy in order to determine the suitable behaviour with one's own ink-and-nib combination.
