The thickness of the paper in your binder makes a big difference in the weight, bulk, and number of pages the rings can hold.
In the past, Filofax brand inserts were 70 gsm. A few years ago they increased to 80 gsm to make them more fountain pen friendly.
Some planner brands use paper that is 100 gsm or even 120 gsm, to prevent show through and bleed through of inks.
Paper doesn’t have to be super-thick to prevent inks bleeding through. Tomoe river paper and other similar papers are very thin, but are specially treated to prevent ink bleed-through. The thinness of the paper allows a ring binder to hold more pages. However, if you print your own pages, very thin paper can be problematic when going through a printer.
What thickness of paper do you prefer? Do you like thin paper for reduced bulk? Do you like thick paper for better ink performance? Or do you like something in the middle?
As always on Fridays, feel free to ask and/or discuss anything ring binder organizer related!
