Quick Writing Pad Review For Left Handed: Sugarcane-Based By Staples

[beboy]

Sorry if I don't go into details too much, but I am fairly new to everything related to fountain pen and I am making different trials with pens/ink/paper, keeping in mind that I am left-handed. As for paper, I have tried a limited amount of papers, going from cheap one to Clairefontaine notebooks. I can say right now that Clairefontaine is not for me, especially in my day-to-day job, where I need to write quickly, and everything got messy. I think that Rhodia would be the same. That kind of disappointed me since I was expecting a lot after all the eulogies coming from fountain pen users on these paper makers. But, well, I still had to find the most suitable paper for me...

 

Recently, I bought small notebooks at an office store (Staples) in Canada and I founded my Grail: Very quick dry and paper absorption with no feathering and no bleeding. Here is a scan of a test done on that paper (sorry, I made a mistake in the word "white" on the margin):

 

 

 

Note that the regular version for Staples writing pads (the non-"Sustainable Earth" version) is absolutely awful with HUGE amount of feathering. Avoid especially with wet writers.

 

I hope this will be useful, especially for the left handed users

Than you for the recommendation. Being a fellow lefty myself I do like good paper also I like the idea of it being a green product. Next time I'm in staples i will have to buy some.

My pleasure. My scan is very bad, but you can have very nice shading on that paper, which I forgot to mention.
