Staples Graph Notebook Quick Look

[bone215]

Staples has a spiral bound graph notebook available. It is 4 squares per inch, comes in 70 sheets, sized 8 inches by 10 1/2 inches (203 mm x 266 mm). I comes 3 hole punched on the left side and has a perforated left side. White paper with light blue grid.

Product # 40698.

It says the paper is made in Egypt.

Tested as follows:

Bulow x450, F nib with Diamine Evergreen

Sheaffer Sagaris F nib, Sheaffer blue cartridge

Sheaffer Clearview 1.o mm with Diamine claret

Sheaffer Clearview 1.5 mm with Tanzanite

Sailor M-F nib with De Atrimentis Midnight blue

Pilot 78G with B nic, Pilot black ink cartridge

Cross F nib with Shin-ryoku

 

So, with this cross section of pens, nibs and inks no feathering at all.

A tiny bit of show through, you would have to see if your pen is wet enough to preclude both front and back of page being used. I think I can use both.

 

Pro:

$2.00, to me a good price

sturdy flex front cover, hard cardboard rear cover

perforations and 3 hole punch

behavior with my fountain pens (A-)

 

Cons:

You may not like the size of the grid

you may prefer a paper with more of a quality feel or higher weight paper
