Rhodia Paper Question

I have fallen in love with the lined paper in my Rhodia webnotebook. I love it for journaling, but have started wishing I had it in a notepad for letter-writing sheets.

 

Does anyone know if Rhodia makes paper like that as a notepad? I like the ruling of the lines, the fact that they don't go all the way to the edge of the paper, and the off-white/cream color as opposed to bright white. I've searched around and haven't seen anything, but I haven't used a lot of Rhodia products in the past and I'm holding out hope...

Here's your handy-dandy link to what's available out there (or at least most of it).

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

The newer webbies use 90gsm paper, like the kind found here: http://www.gouletpens.com/Clairefontaine_Top_Staplebound_Notepad_p/c6150.htm (No affiliation with Brian Goulet, just a super happy customer).

 

It may not be an exact match for color or texture, but its darn close.

 

I use a Rhodia Bloc 18 pad at work: http://www.shopwritersbloc.com/rhclpad814x1.html (Again, no affiliation. Super Happy Customer)

 

Does this help?

Thanks for your post, mattjs. I am well-acquainted with the Clairefontaine paper - I use Triomphe writing tablets and many Clairefontaine clothbound books and love the paper quality - but I'm tiring of its "extra white" brightness. I imagine I'm persnickety here, but if you put the Webbie paper next to Triomphe or a Clairefontaine notebook, I think you, too, would be unlikely to call the colors close at all. I love the color and the ruling on the Webbie. The ruling on the Clairefontaine tablets and notebooks is considerably wider, and the lines on the Clairefontaine and the Rhodia pads go all the way to the edge, whereas they do not in the Webbie. (It was partly this feature that sold me on even trying the Webbie.)

Oh, I agree completely. I love my webbie. And while the Triomphe is good stuff, the brightness is just too much sometimes.

 

I can't speak to the ruling and such though, as I'm not quite as spun up on things like that as others. I would love to see the Rhodia pads use the paper from the webbies.

In the meantime, you could scan your webbie's ruling and print it on off-white paper.

 

Problem solved.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

We hear you, and I will mention it. Triomphe is probably the closest, but I hear you with wanting off-white paper.

No... the original point was to find the Rhodia Webnotebook lined paper in tablet form.

      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..

      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
