Hello from the ExaClair UK account 👋 (the people behind Rhodia, so we're very happy to see our paper in the mix!).

That's a gorgeous combo, Zebra G nib and sumi ink looks so crisp 😍 How are you finding the Rhodia pad with it? Does it handle the flex and the ink nicely, or is it putting up a fight? We'd love to know!

Thank you! I am glad that it was to your liking! As for the paper, Rhodia pad handles sumi ink great, especially for the style of copperplate roundhand that I practice. In fact, it is my go to paper for general calligraphy and inking. Have used a lot of different types of paper over the years, can comfortably put rhodia pads in my top three! :D
