It's probably a long shot, in this day of CAD, but I have a full set of Rotring Isograph 2000 pens, which I use occasionally for artwork.........not commercially, and eveything I've ever produced has been given away. I just enjoy drawing.

I used to have an A+ sized pad, and a ream of A4 sized heavyweight paper, almost thin card. Both were excellent for Rotring pens, as no "bleed" appears even if the pens are used slowly, unlike cheaper papers.

Anyway, to get to the point, () the large pad is finished, and no longer available.

Does anyone out there know the name of a type of heavyweight paper that allows drawing SLOWLY with Rotring ink pens, without bleed?

TIA, Alcazar

Tried an art shop and I mean a decent 1 like Art Van Go?

Any art shop will do, if you pop in to one you can cut it to size if needs be too.

I have a set of these but they need cleaning, I think they need an ultrasonic bath or something don't they?

They will.
The Rotring pen ink was very heavy with Shelac (sp?) which certainly goes rock hard. US cleaning will do the trick.

I think Rotring are now well eclipsed by the cheap modern Pilot pens .
I do a lot of freehand sketching at work and home, and the Ultra Fine Pilots are so very very good.

Rotrings are brilliant for tech drgs where you need that line width to be constant.

The good ol' days!

I have a complete new set of 8 pens still in their box and 34 bottles of black ink if any body wants them?
