KarlBlessingHi @KarlBlessing,
I wrote on both the notecards and the lighter stock writing paper, and they worked beautifully with the LAMY Joy calligraphy pen that I used in the writing sample shots. My first sheet of test paper also did well with a Noodler's Konrad Flex filled with 1670 Emerald of Chivor, a Souveran M805 Medium nib filled with Edelstein Topaz, and a Pilot Falcon SF filled with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo. There was no bleed-through, very minimal ghosting on the other side (that was only really detectable with the darker spots of ink when I stopped on a letter with the LAMY), and no visible feathering.
This Italian paper is slightly textured though, so it's not the same kind of slippery-smooth writing experience one might get on vellum-finish paper, like Rhodia. So there's definitely a little more feedback than you might be used to if you use your pens primarily on that kind of paper.
Overall though, the paper performs very well with fountain pens, and I would recommend it for any fountain pen user looking to step up their correspondence-game. I put all of our potential paper products through writing tests with all the major pen/ink types, and if it's not fountain pen friendly we do our best to make a note of it in the description.
Hope this helps!

KarlBlessingA quick google search shows the paper as being fountain friend friendly.

(I know the picture shows Edelstein ink and a Lamy Safari, but would like to actually hear that it'll handle most nibs and inks rather than have it implied).
