Mitsubishi Paper Mills Ltd. and Yamamoto Paper created a luxurious new paper: Takasago Premium. The intention was to fulfille five goals: (1) To pursue a writing paper that is suitable for fountain pens, (2) with a silky surface (smoothness), (3) that enhances ink shading, (4) that produces accurate color rendition (brightness), and (5) that has quick dry times to be suitable for note-taking. From the perspective of paper making, many of these features conflict with each outer. For instance, paper that absorbs ink slowly produces greater shading, but is not suitable for use as a notebook because it smears. However, the development team managed to overcome these challenges by finely adjusting the raw ingredients, the sizing materials, and the press machinery. The paper now bears the "THREE DIAMONDS" watermark, a watermark that is awarded only to Mitsubishi's highest quality papers.
