First off, thank you everyone for answering my post. You guys have been a huge help. This is an amazing community.
Secondly, I'm not sure I've done replies correctly, so I'm sorry if I've annoyed anyone.

Thanks! Glad to hear a vote for the laser paper. I do want something cost efficient for doing drills. Sounds like I have a few things to order this weekendThe *classic* combo that I recommend for beginners is Nikko G and McCaffrey's ink,
I second that recommendation. Worked great for me when I started out.Quoteand I prefer Rhodia or Clairfontaine paper. I've never found any of the office supply papers that feel right.I think he still recommends this combo. One office paper I've found to work is Staples fine laser paper, 25% cotton. Much cheaper also.
This is the combo that Michael Sull recommended years ago. I am not sure if he has changed.QuoteDo not get the glossy black McCaffrey's, it can have a hard time drying.I second that as well. I once received a glossy black by error, ruined a bunch of envelopes because I did not realize it was taking so much longer than normal to dry, and ruined a bottle of regular black when I mixed the two.QuoteMcCaffrey's has a thinner look which some people do not care for.
I love the look--incredible thins are possible.
