Thanks for a wonderfully thorough review. It is comforting to know that Tomoe River paper is not going to cease being produced (as was reported elsewhere). If anything, your review indicates that for users who are writing rather than drawing/sketching on the paper, the Successor Tomoe River paper is an improvement.
@InkyRocks3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! That is a great way to put it--if you just write "normally", you will probably like this paper. It's the people who like all kinds of ink that are a little "out there" that may pick up on some of the subtle differences.

I think a normal review of this new paper would have been a lot of writing but I feel like your tests were much more applicable. TR paper was so unique that these tests were far more revealing to me than a bunch of written lines. Plus the descriptions of the paper and writing feel were invaluable. Great video!! I'm sitting on a quite a stock pile of pre 2021 paper. In 2019 I bought a whole bunch b/c I loved the unique TR paper so much and I felt so ridiculous but now me and my 200 sheets are having a grand old time waiting to see what comes of TR paper in the future

Right now we don't know when the Successor will pop up in finalized products. The best we can guess is that Sanzen probably would not have bought the rights to TR unless they had some lucrative follow on. We still haven't seen, here in Japan, anything specifically labeled as Sanzen's version of TR.

Another epic review. Love the inside joke between Jacob and you ;) As I told Jacob on his blog, the tactile aspect is very important to me. I'd already gathered from his review that the texture would be a little different. I haven't tried the "new" TR paper in the 52 gsm variant, but I have an Endless Recorder with new 68 gsm TR and although it's still very good paper, I really dislike how it feels, both to the touch and to write on. I miss the silky feel of the old TR. Hopefully this paper will be better than that and a bit closer to the old paper when it comes to the writing sensation.
@InkyRocks3 жыл бұрын
I really don't know if it's closer to the "old" than the "new" was. There were some bad batches of the "new". It feels nice but there is the drag with dry and chromoshading inks. I think there will be a group of people that won't enjoy it, like with Cosmo Air Light.

Like different nibs and different inks, each paper kind of serves it's purposes. I prefer the Successor with normal nibs and normal ink. It's crinkly and has less show thru with normal writing. Where it's different is with dry and chromoshaders. We'll see how this falls out. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Joanna! The company Sanzen is mailing out to the wholesalers at the end of the month. Then I guess companies need to work thru their old inventory and then make whatever they are going to make of the paper (like journals or paper pads) and then it will go out to the public. We were thinking (me, Jacob and the "source") that maybe early spring of 2022?

Heh, I loved a little joke about blackmail. But that aside, it was great to see successor in action. I'm so happy that tomoe will have a cooler version, double so if it indeed ghosts less! Thank you

Blackmail was useful hahaha! I thought it was especially better with my normal writing, especially if it will be used in a journal.

Thank you so much!💖I don't know at all. I had heard that Sanzen bought the rights and then all of a sudden I got these samples. I don't even know if they will be making a 68gsm.
