Rhodia No. 16 A5 Notepad - Ice White, Lined

Rhodia Makes Great Paper

This Rhodia paper is very smooth and fountain pen friendly. I see no bleed through, ghosting, or feathering when using Diamine Writer's Blood, Iroshizuku Tsuki Yo, or Namiki Blue and Black inks in pens with fine and medium nibs. Individual pages separate easily and cleanly from the notepad. The rule lines are very light and not in the least intrusive. This paper would be quite suitable for writing letters.

My favorite Rhodia pads

I have looved the Rhodia Ice White pads since they came out. I like the subtle grey lines. And the paper is so smooth. Despite using almost exclusively broad and stub nibs, and wet ones at that, there is rarely any bleed through or even shadowing. I would love these pads in an A4 size, but I don't know if they are made anymore. Anyway, fabulous paper!

Great paper - too small

Inks flow well, do not spread and do not go through the paper. Sheets are too small. Very pricey for "paper". Either you, the manufacturer, the supplier, or some combination thereof are taking advantage of supply vs demand.
