Surpassed expectations

I bought this for a specific project involving small square grid calligraphy. The alignment is perfect, and the wax-resist areas create a lovely contrast when ink touches the fibers. Will buy again.

Perfect for handwritten notes

Using these for my journaling and short poems. The micro-jet dyeing technique ensures the patterns don't interfere with the writing space. The paper feels substantial and high-quality.

Great quality, unique design

I love the antique flower-bird motif; it makes my letters feel very traditional. The paper handles ink well without excessive spreading. Only wish the pack came with more sheets.

Exquisite texture for daily practice

The wax-resist pattern adds such a beautiful depth to my calligraphy. The grid lines are faint enough not to distract but clear enough to guide structure. Highly recommended for semi-sized practice.

Authentic Xuan feel

As a calligraphy instructor, I am picky about paper. This semi-sized Xuan paper offers excellent absorption control. The landscape pattern is subtle and elegant, perfect for students learning composition.

Beautiful but delicate

The aesthetic is stunning and truly retro. You need to be gentle with the brush as the paper is quite absorbent, which is typical for good Xuan paper. Great for special occasion letters.

5 FAQ

Q: Can I use fountain pens on this paper instead of brushes?

A: Yes, you can use fountain pens, but please note that Xuan paper is highly absorbent. It may cause feathering with standard fountain pen inks. We recommend using waterproof or specialized calligraphy inks for best results.

Q: What is the exact weight or GSM of this paper?

A: This specific batch of semi-sized Xuan paper typically ranges between 30 to 40 GSM, offering a balance between thinness for traditional feel and enough body to prevent immediate tearing during brushing.

Q: Do the grid lines disappear when wet with ink?

A: No, the square grid lines are printed using a method that ensures they remain visible even after ink application, helping you maintain character structure throughout your practice session.

Q: Is this paper suitable for watercolor painting as well as calligraphy?

A: While primarily designed for calligraphy and handwriting, the semi-sized Xuan paper can handle light watercolor washes. However, heavy saturation may cause the wax-resist patterns to react uniquely, so testing on a single sheet first is advised.

Q: How should I store these papers to prevent yellowing?

A: To preserve the antique tone and prevent further aging or brittleness, store the papers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them flat in an acid-free folder or box is ideal.
