There are thousands of different kinds of paper out there which you can buy.
So it’s almost impossible to test them all and find the perfect one.
During the years I could test a few and see which paper is the best for each script.
Now I want to share my favorites with you.
If you just starting you can use standard printer paper with 80g/m. This paper is perfectly adequate for the beginning.
More advanced people should use 100-200g/m laid paper as I use right now.
This paper allows you to have a better writing flow and allows you to control the pressure on the pen much easier.
You can find this paper on amazon.com for example. Amazon – Laid Paper*
Best Paper for Modern and Traditional Kuligraphy
Thicker laid paper with a ribbed surface is the best choice for these two scripts. It won’t tear if you apply more pressure to write thicker lines.
Laid Paper – Verge de France by G. Lalo
This handmade paper has a grid of parallel lines that are not really visible.
These lines will help and guide you to keep the letters on one line when you write a word.
It’s also a thicker paper with 100g/m² which doesn’t tear that easy. – Laid Paper – Verge de France by G. Lalo*
