The Paper Mind Mitsubishi Bank Paper Notebooks (Sponsor)

Introducing The Paper Mind, a new stationery brand with a focus on ultra-premium paper. The launch product is a Mitsubishi Bank Paper notebook featuring a flexible stitched binding and a Japanese paper cloth soft cover. And this week, The Paper Mind is offering Pen Addict readers 10% off their orders - read on to find out more.

What makes these notebooks so special is how comfortable they are to use, thanks to the high-quality paper and ultra-flexible lay-flat binding. You don’t have to worry about inks bleeding or getting the notebook to stay flat. The Paper Mind Bank Paper Notebook allows you to focus on writing, free from distractions.

Mitsubishi Bank Paper is a unique watermarked paper made from a proprietary blend of wood pulps and cotton. When released in 1960, it was designed specifically for bank passbooks; this meant that paper had to be high-quality, long-lasting, and most importantly, it had to be compatible with a wide variety of pens, including fountain pens.

The Paper Mind has taken this hard-to-find paper and put it into a new notebook, The Paper Mind Mitsubishi Bank Paper Notebook. Not only do these notebooks contain 192 pages of this special fountain pen friendly paper, but they also feature a coverless spine and stitched binding with 360 degrees of flexibility.

The notebooks are bound in Tokyo, Japan by a multigenerational family bookbinding company.

The Paper Mind is offering 10% off to The Pen Addict readers with code “TPA10”.
