U.S. Art Supply (Pack of 2 Pads) - 9" x 12" Premium Calligraphic Practice Paper Pad, 19 Pound Bond (70gsm), Pad of 50-Sheets, Calligraphy Paper with Printed Practice Rule and Slanted Grid

Perfect for calligraphy practice. 2 large pads.

This is a great product and the paper is slightly thick. When you use your pen, the ink doesn’t “leak” through to the page below what you’re writing on, so it’s not messy.

This paper is exactly what I needed. It is great to practice lettering on as it is a little rough. The paper is simply excellent.

I like it ok. I’m still using it to practice. My only complaint is using a dip pen with ink it on it bleeds so you can’t really tell how your letters are looking. The paper is pretty thin.

I recently decided to pick up calligraphy, so that I can start making my own birthday/holiday cards. I googled a few options and ended up picking this paper (it definitely doesn't bleed as much as regular 'printing paper'), Speedball Calligraphy Ink Palette set for ink, Nikko Manga Pen Nib N-Gpen, and the Tachikawa Comic Pen Nib Holder. These were recommended for beginners on a few sites, so that's why I went for those. I think they all work great. I can tell the nib is for beginners, it is a bit stiffer than I imagined (the split part). I'm sure there are other, more delicate options, but feel that it is good for my level (afraid of breaking the little metal nib.

Good paper for beginners

Bought as a gift for 6 and 9 year old girls who love to draw. All i can say is they love them. I added caligraphy pads for practice

I like the graduations on the paper. They help with the heights of your lettering. This paper tends to make fuzzy lines and not shape lines because it bleeds slightly. But it was thick enough for my ink not to go through as much as other types of paper I've used.

Paper bleeds pretty bad. Would also prefer if the pages didn't fall out so easily. I would like to see a progression of learning over time, but it's a hassle trying to keep track of all the loose pages.
