Endless Recorder A5 Notebook - Infinite Space, Dot Grid

Really terrible paper

I rarely leave negative reviews but this paper is just really bad. It will make all of your fountain pens write 1-2 sizes more bold than they normally right. I prefer extra fine and fine nibs and with this paper the finest nibs in my collection write to a medium even bold line thickness. I have attached a photo showing what I mean. The top gird paper is Rhodia and the Endless Notebook Regalia on the bottom. I purchased two writing pads and the notebook, I really regret the purchase.

Gorgeous quality notebook!!

I love this notebook! The pages are the perfect thickness, show amazing color and shading, and just has a great set up!! I love that the pages are numbered and it comes with an index, just love it!! Almost no bleedt through! Unless thick/heavy marker, then only slightly!!

Exceptional in every way

I promise I will do my best to keep this review semi-concise, but I adore this paper and could probably talk about it for hours if allowed to. I have discovered properties of inks that I've used for ages that I had no idea were there. I got sheen on my Iroshizuku Take-Sumi BLACK ink... has this ALWAYS been there?! I know that with large globs of Diamine Writer's Blood you could get a copper sheen, but I've gotten it now with my Pilot 823 Custom FINE nib. I won't waste this whole review marveling at the ink properties I've found, though. Bleedthrough is super minimal and seems to only apply to areas where I wrote on the paper itself, whereas ink splotches don't appear to create any bleedthrough at all. Of course there's ZERO feathering and the paper itself is incredibly smooth. The ONLY downside to this paper is obviously going to be its dry time. I smudged some Iroshizuku Take-Sumi a couple MINUTES after writing with it. That dry time is what allows the inks to really be their true selves, though. This is a creative journal where you work on one page at a time and let it sit to really settle in. The lack of absorption also causes there to be issues with hand oils on the paper. If you touched the paper and have even semi-oily hands, the ink WILL trace the outline of your fingerprint. I actually use a drawing glove when writing on this paper because of how extreme it can be if you get oils on it. I've tried Rhodia (my daily driver), Clairefontaine, Apica, Mnemosyne, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm. All are great in their own way and serve a different purpose for me. This is the one brand of paper that I've considered ordering in bulk. I want a lifetime supply of these notebooks. I'm obsessed. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to experience the full personality of their inks.
