Rhodia Staplebound Notepad - Graph 80 sheets - 8 ¼ x 11 ¾" - Orange Cover

Fast shipping, well packaged, exactly as described, and I would buy again. I am highly satisfied with both the service and the quality. Recommended. The paper is a bit pricey and was recommended by my Claude, but I really like the clear, solid black lines I get, even with broader nibs. It was worth trying. I suggest getting the black cover since it costs less, and I suspect the paper inside is the same quality. The cover feels like coated card stock. Overall, it is worth a try to see if you like it and whether it fits into your long-term budget.

Shame on me for never having picked this up sooner. Any time I ever entered a Pearl Paint, Blick's or Utrecht I'd see this next to Moleskine pads. But alas, It wasn't until a few days ago that I ordered a set. This paper makes type of ink you put down look beautiful. Each black pen/marker I used yielded a distinct result (Microns are a warmer black than it's sister product, Microderm, etc) The color pay off on this paper is incredible. You can layer on even the crappiest of markers & be able to achieve smooth even color. I used a sharpie because it's a commonly used for bold lines & texts. I was able to created a gradient of color with each color sharpie I used. Can we talk about tearing about the perforation on this pad?? It is sincerely one of the most satisfying full page removals I've ever experienced. Sheets come out in one whole piece!! You will not be disappointed. Great for any artist, writer or avid note taker. This specific pad is unlined, good to start a sketch on & ink right on. This may be the only paper I will ever want to use for ANYTHING ever again!! The only con is it does have bleed through so back up your paper!! Glad I accidentally ordered two pads.

This company makes the nicest paper. I love that it has a nice size that fits in my purse, so it's very functional. The paper is sturdy and does not bleed through when you use ink. It's very easy to use and I get a lot of value from it. They're hard to find in places like Staples or Office depot, so I'm very happy that Amazon does offer them. Of course I look to find other stationary stores but it's nice to know I always can find it here. Oh and I love that it fits in my hand conveniently. So it has a nice you know sort of grip to it that doesn't occupy a lot of space

I didn’t worry about paper quality until I decided to buy a fountain pen. This was after I saw Jeff Rubin's interview with Brad Dowdy in the July/August issue of "mental floss" magazine. Dowdy runs a podcast called "The Pen Addict". The article was mostly about pens (of all kinds), but he also recommends Rhodia paper, saying "If you can find quality paper, it's going to make crummy pens write better, and vice versa.” So I bought a fountain pen from a brand Dowdy recommended and bought this tablet of unlined Rhodia paper. Wow – was he ever right! This paper is beautiful. It is smooth and uniform, and lovely to write on. It looks a little shiny, but it is still accepts ink nicely. And the paper is thick enough that, even with a fountain pen, there is no bleed through. I've attached a customer image showing a sheet of this Rhodia paper with writing by a fountain pen on both sides. In addition, and this is no small thing, a sheet of paper tears out of this tablet neatly and beautifully. Whether it is a matter of the paper quality or how the sheet is perforated, or both, it is much easier than your average tablet to tear off a sheet of Rhodia paper without missing a corner. FYI, here’s the pen brand Dowdy recommended, TWSBI, a Taiwanese maker of high-quality, good-value fountain pens TWSBI Mini Clear Fountain Pen This is extraordinary paper. More expensive than the average, but if you’re buying a good pen, I think you’ll find it worth it. Happy Reader

I bought this Rhodia Black Dot Pad because I'm fairly new to writing with a fountain pen, and I wanted to experience the joy of using this writing pad after reading the previous reviews. I must confess, I'm not disappointed. My writing hasn't improved using this pad, in fact I think it has gotten worse, but that isn't any fault of the pad, I believe I simply need to get used to writing on dotted lined paper, maybe it's just my inexperience. However, that doesn't mean the paper is bad, quite the opposite! My pen glides across this paper like silk, the ink transfers beautifully, and you can see the shading in my ink perfectly. I first thought the paper feels a little thin, but having used it, there is absolutely no bleed through to the overside, and no feathering what so ever! The paper is a delight to use... I just need practice, Practice, Practice. As always with Amazon Prime, the Pad arrived extremely quickly, and very well packaged. Well worth the money!

The Rhodia notebooks are amazing. Premium price, but a premium product. Great paper (smooth and heavy), great construction, love the dot grid, have several of them in different sizes. I use these big ones for calligraphy practice and never have problems with ink bleeding through. That being said, I don't know if it is because these are imported or they cannot get a reliable supply, but half the Rhodias I get from Amazon are beat up when they arrive. The paper has never been damaged, but they don't come shrink wrapped, and they haven't been carefully handled. This most recent purchase had clearly been run over by some sort of vehicle because the back was all scratched up and there were faint treadmarks on the front. I've only ever had one that was run over, but it is not unusual to get dirty and scratched covers. But I keep buying them because I get these for the paper not the cover, and within a week or two I'd have the cover beat up on my own. So if you're okay with the distressed look, order away. If you absolutely want a pristine one (for example, to give as a gift), go buy it in person from a physical store where you can examine it first.

I bought the Rhodia based on the advice of friends who raved about Rhodia's quality. So far, I've been thoroughly impressed. The dots are non-obtrusive and make themselves useful when I need them and blend into the background when I don't. The paper quality is superb. It tears cleanly and easily at the perforations and nowhere else. It's heavy enough so that it doesn't feel like writing on a bare surface but isn't so heavy as to feel pretentious or unwieldy. The Rhodia is also shockingly mold resistant. My water bottle has spilled several times in my backpack and even though the pages on the Rhodia have gotten wet each time, I have yet to see any mold or mildew forming. The A4 size feels a strange at first, but I found that it makes a great companion to the Rhodia No.16 A5 6 x 8 1/4 80 Sheet, Dot Pad, Black (16559) where I can choose between portability and space. Like a lot of notepads however, the bottom corner edges tend to get folded over from repeatedly stuffing it vertically in my backpack. Other than that this is a really great notepad.

This is by far my favorite writing/doodle tablet. I love writing on the paper. It's smooth, so my favorite pen glids effortlessly on the surface. The ink doesn't feather or bleed through to the other side. The binding allows me to keep the pages in order, but doesn't get in the way of hand movements. The dot grid is just light enough to see, so its not intrusive. This tablet makes writing enjoyable again.

This paper is really great, perfect for use with fountain pens. I have not had any bleed - through at all yet, although inks behave differently. Nice, smooth feel. Pages tear out at top if you need to remove them. The dot grid is on both sides and I can write on both sides with a fountain pen, no problem at all. Wonderful.

Je l'ai acheté pour atteindre le montant de la livraison gratuite. J'ai toujours en attente quelques achats de ce style à faire, pas de surprise sur la qualité et le rapport prix/qualité.

Identique au descriptif

Ich habe den Block nicht in der üblichen DIN A4 Größe 21cmx 29,7cm gekauft, sondern in 21cmx31,8cm détaché (dotted). Somit sind die abgerissenen Blätter in der Größe DIN A4, was viele ja oft bemängeln. Bei Größe DIN A4 ist der komplette Block in dieser Größe, bei der nächstgrößeren, sind die herausgetrennten Blätter in DIN A4. Der Block wird nach oben umgeklappt und ist dafür auch bereits perfekt vorgefalzt, was mich bereits sehr begeistert hat, hier hat offensichtlich jemand mitgedacht. (Was man bei dem Preis auch erwarten kann). Das Papier ist weder gelocht, noch hat es einen Rand (wie in einem Schulheft), ist aber doppelseitig im Dotgrid liniert. Gehe davon aus dass das die Regel sein wird, Ansonstem macht das Papier seinem Namen (Calairefontaine) alle Ehre, es ist superglatt, "streichelweich" und man kann mit allen wasserbasierten Markern sehr gut darauf zeichnen,lettern, kalligraphieren und verblenden. Ghosting gibt es dabei kaum, sofern der Stift nicht tropfnass ist und man riesig groß lettert. Bei alkoholbasierten Markern sollte man besser ein Blatt unterlegen, wenn auch es beim einfachen Schreiben nicht ernsthaft durchblutet, beim blenden oder stärkerer Beanspruchung sicherlich. Kugelschreiber und Bleistift sind natürlich auch gar kein Problem. Je nach Bleistift und Radierer ist absolut gar nichts mehr davon zu sehen. Ich würde den Block immer wieder kaufen, wenn er nicht ganz so teuer wäre. Es gibt ihn in manchen Fachgeschäften deutlich günstiger, allerdings braucht man in meinem Wohnbereich dafür überall einen Gewerbeschein oder Künstlernachweis um das Geschäft zu betreten...... Alternativ kann ich, für den Zweck des Lettering oder ähnlichem, auch sehr das Clairfontaine DCP Laserpapier empfehlen, es hat nur keine Punkte, entweder selber draufdrucken oder ohne auskommen und etwas unterlegen (dann besser nicht über 100g schweres Papier) ;) Ich habe noch ein Foto angehangen von der Rückseite des Blocks, auf dem die verschiedenen Varianten und teilweise deren Eigenschaften (gelbes Papier/weißes Papier, Größe...) aufgelistet sind. Ich hoffe das hilft möglicherweise jemandem weiter. Leider war ein großer Aufkleber unten über den Angaben aber ich denke es ist dennoch lesbar.

I love this pad for hand lettering, just wish it was more readily available.
