The Apica A.Silky Plain Paper Pack uses A.Silky 865 Premium paper, developed to provide a notably smooth writing experience for both fountain pens and ballpoint pens. The silky surface allows pens to glide comfortably across the page, making long writing sessions feel effortless and controlled.
Unlike many general-purpose copy papers, this premium writing paper is specifically designed with writing performance in mind. It is an excellent choice for correspondence, handwritten letters, journalling, ink testing, penmanship practice, office use, and premium desk stationery applications.
The plain, unruled format provides maximum flexibility for writers, designers, planners, and creatives who prefer an uncluttered page. The clean white surface is equally suitable for formal communications and personal writing projects.
This paper pack is best suited to writing-focused applications rather than wet mixed-media techniques. Artists or makers seeking paper for painting, heavy marker work, or water-based media may benefit from selecting a paper designed specifically for those purposes.

Use the Apica A.Silky Plain Paper Pack for handwritten correspondence, journalling, note-taking, fountain pen ink testing, drafting letters, and professional writing projects. The unruled format allows complete freedom for layout, writing styles, and creative organisation.
The paper is designed to perform with fountain pens and ballpoint pens. Test unfamiliar inks before important projects if you wish to evaluate writing characteristics for a specific pen and ink combination.
Store paper flat in its protective packaging when not in use. Keeping paper away from excessive humidity helps maintain a smooth writing surface and consistent performance.
For Canadian studios and offices, allow paper that has been shipped during winter months to acclimate to room conditions before use. This helps minimise moisture-related changes caused by rapid temperature fluctuations.
