RHODIA 16559C - Stapled Notepad Dot pad N°16 Black - A5 - Dot Dotted - 80 Detachable Sheets - White Clairefontaine Paper 80 g/m - Soft and Resistant Coated Card Cover - Basics, 148x210mm

If you use fountain pens this notepad is great. No bleeding and no ghosting

Good pad with dots on the pages equally and evenly spaced for marking out ideas of projects or learning calligraphy

I purchased this pad for practicing modern calligraphy in. I have also started a bullet journal (bujo) and wanted to practice page layouts before commiting to using them in my actual journal which has the same size dot paper in it. This pad is A5 with mid grey dots at 5mms. There's perforation across the top of each sheet which makes it easy to tear pages out and keeps things neat. The pad itself has a paper cover and cardboard back, and is stapled across the top above the perforations. The paper is bright white and really smooth. I have used brush pens, ink pens and biros on the paper and all write beautifully without bleeding or going through to the other side or next sheet (you could write on both sides of one sheet with a brush pen and both sides wouldn't show the ink from the other side). I am really really pleased with my purchase and will be repurchasing again when this runs out. Although as I see it 190 sides (80 sheets, 2 sides each) should last me a while. Great little pad.

Thanks

Nice note book to practice calligraphy, nice paper, good price, arrived quickly.

Incredible quality, am extremely happy. This notebook is beautiful - excellent for my drawing/sketching and hand-lettering practise, and has discrete dots which guide yet do not obstruct. The paper absorbs ink excellently, doesn't bleed through nor smudge. It's been a delight to use this and I'm looking at buying a few more (a lot more!) Rhodia pads in various sizes for my upcoming ventures. Long live Rhodia pads!

This was my first Rhodia pad - I bought it to practice hand lettering with brush pens as I was told that the paper is very good and prevents the brushes from fraying. So far it's been really good. The one gripe I have with it is that the whole pad is somewhat warped - if I take a page out it is perfectly flat and smooth, but the pad looks like it buckled, maybe from moisture in the hard backing? Due to this I have to remove the paper from the pad before using it - bit inconvenient but the quality of the paper makes up for it (since I use it for practice only I don't mind).

What can I say? It's a Rhodia A5 Dot Pad! Rhodia/Clairefontaine produce some of the best paper around for notepads, especially if you're a fountain pen user. The paper doesn't bleed, the ink never soaks through to the next page and there's very little ghosting, allowing you to write on both sides of the paper. The dots are fantastic, as they give you both a horizontal and vertical guide but without being overbearing, like grid paper can sometimes be. It's enough of a guide but not a distraction. If all you're used to is a Staples bog standard notepad, I STRONGLY suggest that you pick up one of these. They're a little more expensive but a thousand times better.

Utmärkt kvalitet

Affordable book for calligraphy.... The papers are thick and also supports dip pen calligraphy... A must have dotpad for all the calligrapers out there....

Absolutely happy. Very good quality. Dots faint enough to not bother but noticeable enough to be practical. Nice smooth paper

Jeden z lepszych notatników do piór wiecznych.

Rhodia notepads and webnotebooks are some of my favorite. The paper is delightful to use a fountain pen on with no bleeds or any smudging problems and it really makes my inks look beautiful on the pages. The dot pad has become one of my favorites as the size is perfect and really convient, and for notes I want to store I just use a hole punch and organize into a binder later on. Love that it allows me to use it for any topic or use I want that way instead of trying to save it for a specific use.
