I love Conqueror paper and envelopes but they are a bit pricey, mostly because you have to purchase such large quantities.

For the purpose of this discussion I am not referring to the IAMPETH Master Penmen. They have earned their title by following a rigorous protocol. I think that the title of Master gets tossed about far too casually these days. I will say however that I think the term Master is often used by people with a limited knowledge of calligraphy as a term of respect for a calligrapher they admire. This will happen. I do think however it is the responsibility of the knowledgable calligrapher to denounce this title. If they do not, they have accepted the distinction of Master Calligrapher. Perhaps those who do not correct the distinction could benefit from a good dose of humility. Very few calligraphers are at the level of Master. I certainly do not feel qualified to select them. I will leave this to IAMPETH.
