This site shows some pretty nice products for use with 3x5 cards.

I was going to post this in a separate thread, but thought it might be appropriate here. Where do people get their 3x5 cards? Are the 500 for $3 at Staples decent enough to use or is it worth some extra money to get them from ______?

The ones I use are done in a grid pattern. I found them at staples for about a buck, and keep them in my shirt pocket briefcase. They hold ink rather well from a relatively wet Parker vac without bleeding.

The Oxford gridded cards I got at Staples work well for my FP's. A little thinner than the Levenger but then maybe you get more in the pocket briefcase too. If you are giving them to others after writing on them for work, may be a little less professional, but if for personal use, should be no problem.

There are other threads in here reviewing some cards. Search on "index cards" in all forums and today and older for date.

See if this link works.

Staples also carries Oxford cards in horizontal ruled the narrow way. They are padded at 100 for @2.00. I find them pretty handy.

I have a few samples of Levengers cards and they are very nice but quite expensive.

KMart has an off brand called Alco. They work really well for FP's.

I picked up some unlined Top Flight index cards at a discount store. The stock is thin, but quite smooth -- no feathering.

+1 on the Alco cards.

with my fountain pens, big difference between the Alco and the Oxford grid. the grid pattern cards are fine with G2's however.
