Rhodia No. 16 A5 Notepad - Black, Lined

Rhodia No. 16 Notepad Black Lined

I purchased this notepad to compare its paper qualities to the Clairefontaine paper in their A5 notebook which I found too slick for my writing style. The Rhodia paper performed just as well as the Clairefontaine paper in every respect and provided a more tactile flow to my writing mannerisms. I will continue to use the Clairefontaine notebook because the paper is superb however, the Rhodia paper has won me over due to its slightly more tactile qualities. Going forward Rhodia will be my primary choice in paper.

Love This Paper

This is the paper I use as a scratch pad. Note pad and basically everything I wrote that I wast to be able to tear out easily. No feathering and just the right amount of feel for my pens to glide over

My go to paper

This paper is fountain pen friendly. I use mostly juicy, broad and italic nibs and I get minimal bleed through, if any. The paper is smooth. I also love how the cover is creased near the top to fold easily back and fold under the pad when using. Yes, this paper is more expensive than typical pads, but I have spent the money on my fountain pen and ink. I want a great writing experience! And this provides it. Cheaper paper doesn't do it for me.
