In the production of Leather Bound Literary Notepad, the reasonable combination of paper weight and paper coating is crucial to prevent ink penetration of the inner pages, which is directly related to the writing quality and user experience of the notepad.
First of all, the choice of paper weight is the basis. Generally speaking, higher-weight paper is relatively thicker, can provide better barrier effect, and reduce the possibility of ink penetration. For ordinary fountain pen writing, 80g to 100g paper is a common choice. 80g paper has a certain thickness and toughness, and can withstand the writing of most conventional inks without easily penetrating ink. If some inks with higher water content or darker colors are used, 100g paper is more suitable. It can provide a stronger barrier to ensure that the ink stays on the surface of the paper and keep the inner pages clean.
Secondly, the role of paper coating cannot be ignored. The coating can form a protective film on the surface of the paper to further prevent the penetration of ink. There are two common coatings, one is lightly coated paper coating, which can make the surface of the paper smoother, the ink adheres better on it, and the writing is smoother. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent ink diffusion and ink penetration. The other is a waterproof coating, which can give the paper good waterproof properties. Even if it is accidentally stained with water, it will not cause ink smudges and paper deformation. For Leather Bound Literary Notepad, a combination of lightly coated paper coating and waterproof coating is usually used. First, lightly coated, and then a layer of waterproof coating is added. This can not only ensure the smoothness of writing, but also prevent ink penetration and moisture to the greatest extent.
In addition, the grammage of the paper and the coating need to cooperate with each other. Higher grammage paper with appropriate coating can achieve the best anti-ink penetration effect. For example, 100g paper itself has good barrier properties, and with the dual protection of lightly coated paper coating and waterproof coating, it can effectively prevent ink from penetrating to the next page even with a thicker pen tip or a lot of writing. For 80g paper, the quality and uniformity of the coating are more important. Through a fine coating process, it can play a good anti-ink penetration performance on relatively thin paper.
Finally, different writing tools and ink types will also affect the combination of paper grammage and coating. If you often use writing tools with high water content such as brushes or dip pens, you need to choose paper with higher grammage and better waterproof coating. For ordinary gel pens or ballpoint pens, 80g to 100g paper with regular lightly coated paper coating can usually meet the requirements of ink penetration prevention. In short, when making Leather Bound Literary Notepad, you need to carefully select the paper grammage and match the appropriate paper coating according to actual usage needs and writing habits to ensure that the inner pages of the notebook are always clean and tidy, providing a good carrier for literary creation and recording.
