I totally agree about Nakabayashi notebooks! I love the Logical and I just started using a Yu-sari that I got for review from Galen Leather. It is so good that I just ordered another.

Has to do with the way the sizing spreads the ink across the page, and is the tradeoff for why microcoat also displays things like shading and sheening so well; what enables the latter also causes the former.

This is just one of those things that’s inherent to the entire family of papers made in this style, and it’s really going to boil down to personal preference and the kinds of nibs/inks you like to use on a daily basis. One of the big things we’re going for here is to try and make available a bunch of our folio notebooks in all these different families of paper, so that everyone will be able to affordably find something that works for their particular set of tools and writing style. Right now we’ve got ultrathin techo (TR/S), traditional (Bank Paper), modern microcoat (CAL/Rasa), and cottonised (Spica Bond), and the aim is to add more choices.
