The Right Paper for Kuligraphy

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.

kuligraphy-paper

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*
