On Paper (EN)

#On paper quality

Since I started typing again on two different typewriters - an Adler Tippa and an Olivetti Dora, I noticed that not every sheet of paper yields the same clear print.

That came somehow unexpected, because I thought, well, typing as something mechanical would always be the same. But it isn't! I found that my "prints" look best on swedish made paper "Munken pure", which is not bright white but light chamois. Easy for the eyes and with a silk touch. Also very nice for decent handwriting with fountain pen or the like. I use this yellow-ish paper also for printouts of sheet music, because it is much nicer to read from in very bright or low light conditions; both can occur on stage or in dimly lit churches.

These were my musings today on paper, in a world where we seek to use less paper. So let's use less (if any), but the best paper we can get.
