Join me as I start to build out a new swatch book using an A5 Plotter where I can have multiple papers for easy side by side comparison.
I am swatching on Tomoe River 52, Iroful, Yu-Sari, Life Bank Paper and Plotter Paper.
I am going to start out by swatching my 16 Pilot Iroshizuku Inks, and will do more streams in the future as I work my way through all of my ink collection.

Discover the Laconic A5 notebook and its smart notebook inserts with me today! 📓 I’ll put Laconic’s 96 gsm paper head-to-head with Plotter paper—testing fountain-friendly ink bleed, feathering, and that oh-so-smooth writing experience. Plus, I’ll show you how Laconic’s undated planner pages give you total freedom to start planning whenever inspiration strikes (no more wasted pages!). ✨🖋️
I am going to be adding these in to my A5 Plotter as I learn what will work for me in the world of the A5 ring bound system. The Laconic is less expensive, so it is a great way to try out the ring system to see if it will be a good fit for your needs.
I purchased the notebook and papers from The Gentleman Stationer.
