I like to use Royal executive bond A5 sized letterpads from BILT. 100gsm. Also available in A4. These I bought in bulk from landmark a few years back, maybe still available. price was approx 1re per sheet IIRC. Their 100gsm Royal Exec bond paper is available in reams also. I also love the 90gsm BILT ledger paper.

In Mumbai, in some shops, you get wonderful leather bound notebooks with ledger paper with choice of unruled or ruled paper. The book is stitched in leaves and they open flat, very nice notebooks but are somewhat pricey of the order of say 225rs for 350pgs.

 

I am sure Nai Sarak in old Delhi has some shops selling such superb notebooks.

 

all the best.

Hari,

 

Any suggestions for shops in Bangalore selling notebooks with ledger paper? No leather for me, thanks (leather and silk gall me somehow)...

I've been using JK Cedar 100 GSM paper. The Mega More store in Hyderabad had them on sale a month ago for about 240 or 260 rupees per ream (500 pages).

I am moving back to India in a few months and had been wondering what to switch to from Rhodia. Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. Are these papers all very FP friendly ?

What inks do you guys use?
I'm currently using Navneet notebooks and I find their quality is all over the place. Sometimes the paper is great, and sometimes it's terrible.

I use A5 or A4 notebooks from Bilt Matrix. They use something called as royal executive bond paper of 90-100gsm. And they are still pretty much available. Very fine quality smooth paper. Available in white and off white/cream colours. The off white paper comes in their hardbound "Natural" series.

The majority of the paper I write on is cheap and nasty copier paper - my employers think that paper should be printed on not written on.

 

My own notepads, I tend to buy A4 and A5 Cambridge Business spiral bound notepads - they are lovely 80gsm pages that I have spilled ink on and they still did not have bleed through.

 

I tend to buy them when they are on offer at different retailers and store them in my stationary chest at home until needed.

 

Not sure what the availability outside of the UK is but if you run across them they are well worth a buy.

A4 size 75gsm paper which is free. So i just need to get it bind. So i pay Rs. 30 for each such binding and get almost 250 pages in that.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
