The dark blue or 6mm pilot parallel is what all my blackletter practice sheets are designed for. 🙂

However, I do appreciate the education you’ve shared with everyone.

I had not heard of this paper myself. I’ll have to try it myself. Based on just the paper density (52g/m^2) and thinness (half of printer paper), I would say only a small amount of ink could really go on it without it bleeding. Maybe small tipped fountain pens but not dip pens or pilot parallels. Or maybe I was looking at the wrong one on amazon. Let me know 🙂

Thanks!

Hi Alario,

A Dotpad (brand name) is a kind of notebook that instead of grid lines are dots to help line up your letters. They are also made of high quality paper that is great for certain kinds of lettering. Google “Rhodia Dotpad” to see if they ship near you!
